I didn't go to Inhaca island again, I just didn't mention a few minor details from my trip last weekend to the island just off the coast of Maputo. On Saturday night I had my camera stolen from me. My precious, innocent, beautiful, baby of a camera was taken from me. I wasn't sure that it was stolen from at the time, but in hindsight I can say with almost certainty that it was taken from my belt when I went into a shady looking bar to buy some water.
Yeah you are probably thinking, "Serves him right. Who goes into a bar and buys water." But it was the only place that sold bottled water after dark. And when you are on an island, beggars can't be choosers. But I should have known better, from the scanty lighting and solemn glares I knew as soon as I entered the joint that the vibe wasn't in my favour. [FYI..."vibe" means ambiance or atmosphere]
I put out a bounty on my camera and the person who "found" it. Within hours of me sending the message on Monday I got a phone call saying the camera had been located. Unfortunately, the guy who took it isn't cooperating so as of now I haven't recovered it. But I still have another week before I set sail for Canada so keep your fingers crossed.

Oh its too bad I am not there to set up an exchange for you. Do you remember when you lost your phone and you made me go get it, because you didn't want to get out of the car?
We go way back, my memory is amazing, this was like summer 2000.
Also in the dictionary, the 1st definition of "vibe" means (the emotional reactions between people)
Your defintion is the words, second meaning!
I actually think I remember that now. Your are superhuman
