When Dacia, her friend Jadie, and I arrived at the White Sands Bungalow right on the beach in Jambiani, I thought it was a dream. We flew in first thing Tuesday morning and spent the day on the beach in the emerald salt water of the Indian ocean.
Most of the week was about beach time and eating seafood.
We spent one day traipsing across part of the island, via walking, taking the local dadada transportation, walking some more, and then getting picked up by a group of friendly strangers in a water truck, and dropped at a restaurant called "The Rock."
Our last full day we went to Stone Town, to wander through winding streets, barter, and eat at a delicious restaurant called Monsoon, where we sat on the floor and ate our way through as much seafood as we could.
Yesterday we returned to Nairobi and then tomorrow Dacia heads north-east to teach, and I am going to the coast for more ocean and seafood fun. I'll end off with a few pictures from today; some vervet monkeys stopped by for a visit outside the bedroom window this morning, and then we went for an early birthday all-you-can-eat brunch (it was immensely tasty).
Wow Africa is def paradise on earth! Happy BD Jamila,have a glorious day,miss you tons.xoxoxoxox
