Took a cab
to the stunning Djibouti Palace Kempinski Hotel and admired the infinity pool
and swim-up bar beside the Red Sea. Walked down the pier to a small (maybe
20-seater) boat with two 200 HP engines which shot off like we were running
drugs for the 20 minute ride to Isle Moucha. We stopped just short of the
island to watch dolphins swimming alongside our boat.
Stopped at Blue
Lagoon, a small beach with a bar, dive school and a few thatched beach
umbrellas and beech chairs. Arrived at 8:30, left at 5 pm, the only excitement
was a buffet lunch.
Swam
several times in the warm clear water, had a couple of drinks, finished two
books, listened to my iPod. That was it for the day.
Came back
and took a cab directly to Sept Freres, a highly recommended restaurant for the
local specialty, baked fish. It looked a bit run down, and it turned out that
it was out of business. I walked back to my hotel for a shower and change, I am
now thinking about a plan “B”.
