Beach Paradise
... place justice, but it was a breathtaking viewpoint. We even spotted three elephants in the distance, walking by the river. So we chilled there for a couple hours, with our drinks, soaking in the beauty of the valley below us. The rest of my time in Diani consisted of (really) long walks on the beach (and one camel ride), drinks and snacks in beach bars and parties on most nights. So, all in all, a really fun few days in a beautiful place. One I really do want to go back ...

Having looked at the land yesterday at Shimba which was an hour+ away from town I was hoping desperately to find the right land today. About 4 blocks had been identified as being suitable ranging in varying prices, so the most ideal was shown to us first being the cheapest as well per acre. Negotiations had already taken place to get the lowest price per acre ...
Another heartbreaking home visit to orphans
... for an aunt I presume and she struggled to carry it on her head with her feet in such a bad way. This world is so cruel. You just wanted to bring her now.
