A Likkle D.J. Stylee
This is a top pick! ... a working tape player. I had heard about a big reggae show that was moving up the coast from Mombasa. I figured I could catch it in Malindi, on my way to Lamu. I arrived around mid-day and settled into town with some ugali and greens and a third-story ...
Malindi
This is a top pick! ... the inevitable African transport inequities. Whoops, the truck just started and pulled away, time 2 vamos... Saturday 23rd I arrived in Malindi in one piece, only two hours late, where Uri collected me at a gas station. I stepped into his ...
Mombasa to Lamu
This is a top pick! ... nbsp; They wrap all food in newspaper, except for the very moist stuff, which comes in a plastic bag. The bus stopped in Malindi so that the passengers could empty and then refill their bladders and bowels, while I took the opportunity to get some money, ...
Coconuts, Donkeys, Cats, Ninjas, and Dreads
This is a top pick! The bus from Malindi to Lamu was just as I remembered it - bumpy. The rumor that they had paved the road was obviously false. As soon as I arrived I spotted my friend, Karemi, who was waiting for a bus back down the coast to Mombasa. It took him a minute ...
Lamu, Paradise on Earth
This is a top pick! ... Lamu are Swahili. They are really a mix of cultures derived from the historical tribes that existed along the northern coast of Kenya, Portugese, Arab, and probably other sailers thrown in. The Arabs were the conqueror in the end, and slave trade here ...
And then there was one...
As of this morning i am on my own. I thought it would be a little intimidating, but it is a bit of a relief after living so closely with so many people for nearly 4 months. Sorry to those who i was in the middle of smsing theother day when i ...
Zurueck auf die Schulbank
... ich wusste, dass Mammi und Pappi bis zum 9. Februar bleiben, zwei Dinge im Kopf: entweder einen Tauchkurs in Malindi machen, oder den Mount Kenya rauf. Fuer tauchen sprach ganz klar, dass es von Mombasa aus leicht zu erreichen war und bei schoen warmem ...
Kenya Coast
... . When I arrived at the hotel, I almost forgot for a moment that I was in Africa. From what I hear, the Malindi Coast is a popular vacation spot for many Italians and this was certainly true while I was there. Even the local staff ...
Lamu ramblings
... arse to the airport only to be told there was no seats, and that whoever we spoke to "may not have been telling the truth". Go Kenya. All hyped up and nowhere to go, so we decided to splurge and book into a resort for the night. So after dragging our ...
Village population 300
... village of Jilore. The reason why this is a necessity is bc there is no food in my village and the closest market town is Malindi and everyone knows I like to eat a lot and food does not stay long without refrigeration. I plan on investing in a raft and ...
Coastal Kaila
... cities?! Another crazy bus trip later (complete with Spice Girls, Backstreet boys and a kenyan conductor dancing) and we have landed in Malindi. Quite content here for the moment. We are staying in a couple of rooms above a bar, directly across the road ...
Melting in Malindi
... longer than usual. On Tom’s (Bruce’s boss) recommendation we decided to go down to the Kenyan coast to a little place called Malindi and we spent three nights there. Very nice little place to relax in. It was so hot we spent most of our time ...
One empty little Italy
... 2 hours, but very reasonably priced at 2 pounds. We would have gone by proper bus but couldn't find the bus station. In Malindi it was raining heavily, but our hotel was comfortable and empty. We went to the local Italian for dinner, which we couldn't ...
Keepin 'em keen
... a few days ago, wondering why he has not seen me since. Why don't i visit? Have i forgotten about him? Man i met in Malindi a few weeks ago, but lives here. Nice guy, happy to hang out with him, but he has stopped talking. Instead he just sits and ...
Just to make you all jealous.....
We know, two entries in two days, but we're catching up with ourselves. After the safari and Nairobi, we hopped on the coach to Mombasa another hot and dusty ride. We stayed there for two days, saw an old Portuguese colonial fort called Fort Jesus. It ...
Auf Tauchstation
... Bord aus war, wie soll ich sagen? Paradiesisch. Der Strand von Watamu ist markellos weiss, das Meer im Gegensatz zur Bruehe vor Malindi tiefblau und das Wetter fabelhaft. Doch das Beste findet man an einem Ort, an dem an nicht einfach so hinkommt... Ihr ...
Lamu Life
... the perfect mix of volunteering, travelling and holidaying. I have met some wonderful people on this trip and seen some amazing, interesting and heart-warming things. Kenya is a really great country to visit and I hope to return here one ...
KENYA'S GIFT TO AMERICA
In flying to Malindi I received a copy of Kenya's major newspaper, The Nation. The Sunday edition had a special multi-page report on "Kenya's Gift to America". You guess who or what it is referring to. The answer will appear in my ...
SPLISH SPLASH
Arrived in the coastal town of Malindi in order to snorkel in the Marine Reserve. The town has a major Muslim population although it has a large influx of Italian tourists to the extent there is an Italian supermarket and an Italian butchery in ...
Another beach spot
Together with Ukunda this is the main beach spot in Kenya. Malindi feels like a small Mombasa, busy streets with boda-boda's, matatu’s and bajiaji’s, a lot of shops, food in the streets, etc. For me this feels good and I stayed in the middle ...
Its still raining
... are very charming and helpful. We had a worrying day re money as Lamu did not previously have a cashpoint and Barclays in Malindi, where we stopped to get enough cash to see us through, declined our custom. Fortunately, we still have some emergency US ...
Billede
Nogen har forespurgt et billede, og da vi ikke vil tage flere chancer efter vi mistede alle billeder fra den foerste maaned, kommer her et webcam billede taget i Malindi, hvor vi er nu. Enjoy! ...
Welcome to Africa
... anywhere else in the world and I guess thats one of the main reasons its such an interesting place to come to. Malindi and much of the coast of Kenya is muslim which was something new for me and the sight of Africans and people of Arabic origin going to ...
Roev og Strand
... have haft det, for det var det eneste vi rigtigt manglede for at fuldende vores tur (vi har dog heller ikke haft sengelopper). I Malindi boede vi lige ved siden af en moske, saa vi blev vaekket hver morgen halv 5 til lyden af en skramlet arabisk stemme ...

Gedi Ruins
Malindi is pretty beautiful, pretty expensive, full of awesome fish and lots of Italians which makes for good ice cream and coffee. No complaints from me. Our main activity appeared to be walking to tourist attractions, deciding they were ...
Slow days on the coast
... the runway the pilot is chatting on his mobile phone. But he got us to Nairobi in one piece. It was beautiful flying over Kenya, best tonic after a few sick days. At one point we could see Killiminjaro to the south and Mount Kenya to the north. Once ...
