Today my sister Kim flyes back home. But before, we will go kayaking in the mangroves one more time. She will fly back tonight so I can enjoy her being here with me for the whole day. Yesterday we had planned to have a barbecue, but it rained heavily all day long. And since my grandparents had rented a thing that can be driven and that is called a car, we went to the slave huts at the southern tip of Bonaire. On our way back, we drove past the crumbling but still operational lighthouse. The wind blew quite strongly, so the waves sometimes surged forcefully over the reef. Because the wind actually blows steadily from this direction there is very much waste laying around there. If you are looking for some cheap slippers, you just have to walk past there. Not only shoes lay around on the reefs but also bottles and many kinds of plastic junk from the ocean. Kim and I also went sailing with the Mini-Cat again. The wind blew pretty strong and we sailed really super-super fast. Even Kim started to like it!! Normally she does not like sailing too much. We also went sailing on a bigger boat from some people we met here, but she got seasick because she wanted to finish reading a book that I had given to her just in case.
