Christmas day at a tropical paradise

So, you thought that I am torturing myself here in Guinea? Think again. Just an hour boar ride away from Conakry, I leave the run down capital of a west african country, and stepped into a tropical paradise, an island called Roum. I was glad that I just decided that I will forget work for a day, and hang out on a island beach with 17 other volunteers. The island is just an hour away by a large woonden canoe like boat equipped with a motor, and far enough to transport you to a beautiful and relaxing spot. The sand was so fine. I had hard time wash them off when I got back. There is a hotel with a nice outdoor restaurant, but actually thank to that Guinea isn't that popular to tourists, the beach was crowded at all. There were few other expats and rich guineans enjoying a day at the beach.

and here is a baby chimpanze that someone brought with them to the beach.
and here is a guy who is drumming at the beach.
