Kayaking around Port Matoon Island June 2006

Back in Canada

I've managed settled back into life here in Canada. Before leaving Swaziland I took a little trip in Mozambique and stayed for about a week and a half in Tofo village. Was able to complete my Open Water Diving certification in one of the worlds top diving locations. Because the place was quite remote I was the only one in the course.. but there were a few people who just hung around and went diving everday. Not a bad life at all.

However, I did bring home a little of Mozambique with me... It took a full day of travelling 10 hrs.. from Tofo to Maputo and then another 4 hrs to Manzini, Swazialand! I ended up leaving Swaziland on April 5th (the next day around lunch) and got back to Canada about 30 hrs later. I was feeling pretty good during the trip but about a day after getting back to Canada the water bourne parasite I picked up in Mozambique had decided to start messing up my stomache... I was never so sick in my life and after a day of.... "losing fluids" I had a job interview with the Halifax Regional Development Agency. After the job interview I had to hang out in town for a while but I ended up in the hospital for dehydration that eve!

Well I got the job with the HRDA and things are just fine these days. I've managed to squeeze a lot of kayaking and mountain biking into my schedule and even got a job as a kayak guide with Sea Sun Kayaks in Prospect...Lots of fun.

I've been slow to post and I'm not sure if I'll continue this since I'm not on the road anymore...


Cheers
