Happy Feet!

Grab your djapanki, your hawai chappals, your zori, your japonki, 
your Schlapfen or your vietnamki - and let's hit the beach...

If I've lost you - grab your flip-flops and let's hit the beach!
Those are just a few of the names for thongs around the globe.
Life just does'nt get any better.


 All hail the humble flip-flop, the most iconic footwear in the history of the world! Talk about timeless design - the flip-flop is so classic that there's an Egyptian hieroglyph for it, a long oval with an inverted V in just the right place. Prototypic flip- flops were discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamen, and a pair of papyrus leaf flip-flops from 1500 B.C. is on display in the British Museum.


This would get my vote.
It's Flip-Flop Friday at Sugar Bay. Campers arrived yesterday for the start of Funsunzi Week and today has been abundantly crammed with the most amazing things to do.After spending most of the day at the beach, campers will have the chance to show off their culinary prowess at tonight's Tropical Cook-Off.










Tomorrow is Board-Shorts & Bikini Day and senior campers are going to be treated to a bonfire on the beach!

And on Sunglasses Sunday it's Luau Party time!


Aloha!
