Here’s a few pics from our trip to the coast. So this is what this side of the Indian Ocean looks like!
This is looking out from Mombasa. It was an interesting town- very different vibe from Nairobi, and much more hot and humid, with lots of cool colonial architecture. On our way out of Mombasa at the end of the trip, we enjoyed some AMAZING pizza and ice cream. There was also a street kid that went a little ballistic on us when we wouldn’t give him money- going on and on about how Kenya is his country, not ours, and how he would beat us if we ever returned to that neighborhood. No problem kiddo- I doubt I will ever again be in that section of Mombasa!
Lamu Island is a World heritage site. It has really narrow winding alleys, no cars but lots of donkeys and donkey droppings, and lots of ladies in muslim garb. In fact, Hagar and I were the only ladies on the boat ride over not wearing it! Here’s a few pics, including one of donkey races for the occasion of muslim new year!
I also stuck in one bonus pic with my good friend Karen, who we got to see while she was visiting from DC (her family is in Nairobi.) Kenya was definitely kind to us, and we arrived back in Uganda refreshed and ready to greet 2009!
