well I thought it was time to blog again, but its going to be a short one! So yesterday me and michelle had a day off so we decided to go on a little adventure. We went to a place called Watamu up north of mombasa. We went via matatu... which was umm exciting.. picture flying along a 1.5 lane road at around 100km an hr with 14 people wedged into a van the size of a mini van... haha anyways it was pretty fun / funny and then after and hr and a half we arived in the town. It was amazing. Its a small town very quite and amazing beaches. we wandered around the beach and were soon followed by two locals showing us everything from urchins, star fish, jumping fish, moray eals and all sorts of crabs. They left us alone eventually but cam back later and insisted we either buy something or pay for the tour .... kind of a pain but whatever it was worth the like dollar we payed them.
anyways the sights were amazing, the reef comes right in to shore there so you can see eveything and there are a number of island u can walk to when the tide is down. We had some funny moments when the tide was coming in and submerged some of our stuff at one point.. woops but all was fine.
We then wandered around and discovered the power was out so we couldnt get dinner and instead went to the grocery store and bought yogurt and sat and ate it... dairy products are a novelty down here so it was actually quite good!
ok well got to run but just wanted to say hello! hope all is going well!
