Update from Kenya
Hope you’re all ok. Right, so now we have left our volunteering center in Mtwapa, our last few weeks were pretty good, leaving the center was sad in a way as the kids were a really good laugh, but it was time to hit the road. We left Mtwapa and got a Matatu up to Malindi, which was going well until some other matatu conductor “lost our money”and we had to pay again! When we arrived in Malindi we found Tana guest house, which was everything you need, beds, showers, mosquito nets and for 3 quid ish a night it was pretty ideal. We met with another couple of travellers and headed to Marafe and saw Hell’s kitchen which was pretty spectacular, like a mini Grand Canyon… Well worth a bumpy taxi journey for a couple of hours! After a couple of days in Malindi we explored Watamu! A small village with gorgeous tropical beaches around it We satyed there for a day, stopping off to visit the ruins of an old Swahili town at Gede and also going to Bio-Kens snake farm where we saw and held a load of snakes, and also saw a Black Mamba, the most poisonous snake in the world! On Monday we headed to Lamu, where we are now! It’s such a nice place, on an island in the north of Kenya about 50 miles ish from Somalia!!… There are really old coral stone, whitewashed buildings, narrow streets with no cars whatsoever. People get from place to place on donkeys, walking is still a bit of an effort as it was in Mombasa as its still about 35 degrees here!!!! So we have a few days here, probably head back to Mombasa on Sunday or monday before we hit the road inland to Nairobi, Naivasha, Nakuru, and eventually Uganda and Rwanda!! It’s still going reall well; there’s so much more we could tell you but we would be here forever!! In a bit!!…
I’ll put some photos up asap
