Peponi Beach Resort

So then we headed off to the East coast of Tanzania! - Peponi!
A lovely and very quiet beach resort that comes highly rec' from many associated with the school ...
They have bungalows, but we took our tent and got a choice of ANY of the sites there ... so of course we took the best spot - just a few feet from the beach with a nice breeze almost all the time.
The kids did not take long to find some fun, PJ and I headed to the bar/restaurant area to have a nice cold drink and Kaia showed Theo how to do 'sand angels' on the ground!  Goodness, didn't even notice Theo was naked from waist down at the restaurant until just now!!
Of course one of the best aspects of this site and the tenting were the morning and evening views out over the water ... even the kids seemed to really enjoy and appreciate them.
The tides were fascinating too - they came in and out 2 X per day ... you could walk SOOOOO far out into the ocean and see some cool ocean life / bits like starfish, some evidence (though not much) of coral reef life and even little eels!  Oh - and jelly fish ... but that is another story for another blog ...
Here is Theo getting into the beach bum groove ...
and of course Kaia was keen to show her little brother all her beachy knowledge and share her 5 yr. old insights ...
One of the nice amenities of this resort was their pool - right by the beach.  Nice for Kaia and Theo to get some swim time in and of course not worry too much about the seaweed!
One of the highlights though for sure were our daily walks on the beach exploring all that the waves washed up ... look at these tides!  They are practically splashing up onto our tent!  Hee hee ...
