After we woke up, we went on a walk along the coast of the ocean. The promenade is one of the longest I've ever seen. We only walked a small part of it as some friends were waiting for us in a newly built hotel at the beginning of the promenade.
On our way back to the hotel, we've seen the head coach of Zambian football team, jogging with his assistants. Catch up with our friends, and after finishing our coffees and juices we went to have some lunch and then to the beach. By the way, the service at the hotel was horrible (waited for 20 min to be served and that it took her 3 turns to bring everything as she kept forgetting things).
The road to the beach is a bit bumpy but once you get there, it's all worth the effort. The part we went on is called the American beach, cos it's near the American military base. There's one restaurant with a terrace plus a few tables in the sand and some sunbeds. The sand is almost white and the water is pretty clear. The temperature of the water is phenomenal, it's like the Caribbeans. I so love salty water. Minor drawback is that the water is shallow so you have to walk a 100m if you want to swim and I didn't want to take that risk as in this time of the year there's a lot of jellyfish around. Someone said to me that in January and February the water is the hottest here.
I enjoyed the salt in my hair and the sand in my pants, but unfortunately we could stay there only for two hour, as we needed to return to our beloved jungle. So we packed up, refreshed a bit and headed back to the camp. Didn't have problems with any of the roadblocks, none of the guards were drunk enough to molest us ;)
I'm already looking forward to the next weekend in Bata (just hope I won't have to wait another four months for that)
