Water, water, water and more water. And beautiful people, endless smiles, great food and an unmatched island vibe here on #Rodrigues. It is #Day2 for me at #expafrica2019, but it feels like I've been on the island for at least a week with all the adventures I've experienced in the past 48hrs 😲🙌🏻 Today was Registration for the 240x @expafrica athletes, with a 320km course - involving multiple disciplines and at least 3x days of non-stop racing along this remote and very rugged #mascarene island. Once I managed to escape the frenetic and colourful vibe, it was straight back into the jade Indian Ocean. After the caves, tortoises and abseils of yesterday, it was time to experience @rodriguesisland's best #snorkeling spot. A sneaky swim off a dramatic rocky point gets you to the outer reef, and all of a sudden everything gets all aquamarine. This ocean pool is known as the #Aquarium, and hundreds of fish flash around the plate coral outcrops as you fin down into their #bigblue world. Another key outdoor activity is the incredible #kiteboarding on offer here. Wind freaks from around the globe pull into #AnseMarouk to skim across the waves, and whirl against the clouds. This needs to be added to my #BucketList the next time I visit Rodrigues Island 🏝 💚🤟 #expafrica2019 #ExpeditionAfrica #itsallaboutrodrigues #itsallaboutlove #kineticevents #ifollowthetribe #ishootwithorms #sonyxperiaza #hellosonyza #sonyza (at Rodrigues Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1zN2vLpnzL/?igshid=1jyoxk6sjywgi
