... is going to take us out on his dow, for a picnic tomorrow, He promises that it will definately have stopped raining by then! I think it involves catching the fish first<br>We visited Olivers favourite Lamu restaurant for lunch and sampled their milkshakes- mine was avocado- unusual but very good- but Oliver went with the bananas.<br>

... mention he sounds like a really interesting (if not intimidating) guy. We head to Peponi's (a hotel down the beach from our guesthouse, it is not muslim run as ours is so therefore... has beer!). We text Chris to see if he is around. Let me back up for a moment... before we headed to Peponi's the guy at our guest house is all over us to have dinner with them. We had already not eaten there the night before....and we were pretty tired of them hassling us about it, so we said yes... we ...

... people, but couldn&#8217;t see or find them, unless you went up some stairs, then down some, round the corner and up some more etc! My room had a sort of four poster wooden bed, but with a mosquito net instead of hanging fabric, and a fan, that I was very grateful for because it kept the mosquitoes away and kept me cool during the humid nights! When I arrived the bed was decorated with real small pretty flowers; it had great romance potential! My saloon style ...

abbiamo appena prenotato un aereo da qui a Nairobi... visto lo scarso tempo a disposizione non ce la siamo sentita di tornare indietro in sole 16 (minimo) ore di pullman! saranno sintomi della vecchiaia? dopo watamu abbiamo fatto una sosta di una notte a Malindi, giusto il tempo di renderci conto che non e' poi una citta' cosi' orrendamente turistica come dicono, se non per il fatto che buona parte dei locali al posto di biascicare l'inglese biascicano l ...

... ces femmes, est leurs décorations à l'héné, formant de fantastiques arabesques mettant si joliment en valeur leurs mains et leurs pieds. Esthétiquement parlant, ce sont de véritables oeuvres d'art vivantes ! Puis, lassé d'écrire, je m'allongeais pour observer les étoiles en attendant que la température baisse un peu pour aller me coucher. C'est fous comme on peu bien les voir ici ! Est-ce du à la qualité de l'air, à la faible luminosité des lumières de la ville, à la ...

... of note, with giant crabs and lobster, which we slapped up with borrowed pots and pans, cooking in the dark. The food was orgasmic! Saturday 23rd I woke up full of seafood, my body suggesting I urgently empty my bowels, which I did with the greatest of pleasure. I then filled the subsequent void with gigantic perfectly ripe avocados, pineapple and coconut, all local produce. I packed up my belongings and rushed to the ferry, on foot, with all my ...

... two differnt types of butterflies. We also did get lost and had to turn around before we got lost in there forever. We walked forever! We actually did more walking in that hike than we really did in teh 43 days of our tour! After our walk we went back to Gedi to get our bags and more food and then went to Watamu, a beach town, or at least that is what they advertise. The place we rented there was disgusting!

... strong of a word. The people of 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.
