My second week in Watamu was spent similarly to the first, volunteering with Local Ocean Trust, and spending time with Enoch and his family.
I did a night patrol with LOT and saw a nesting turtle, and a few days later we exhumed a nest that had hatched. There were five baby turtles that hadn't made it out to the water yet.
I also went to Malindi, a larger town, to walk on the golden sandy beaches and eat gelato.
My last weekend in town I was invited to a wedding. In Kenya weddings are generally really big, and anyone invited can bring others with them. It was in a backyard, and there were even acrobats.
I also decided to get my hair trimmed, so it will be nice and easy for my upcoming walk.
My last four days in Kenya, I went back to Nairobi and hung out with some of Dacia's friends, as she was still teaching out of town. We went to the David Sheldrick Elephant Sanctuary, where we met and pet 24 young, rescued elephants.
And now, Phase 2 of my trip. After some flight complications, where I was bumped to a flight the following morning, I am now with my friend Laura and her family in Rotterdam.
