Week 10: Coast

It's been a while but we are back! Last week we had the privilege of traveling down to the coast in Mombasa! It was a gorgeous time, we spent about 5 days not including travel there, mostly relaxing on the beach and took a few days where we went out for food or went to do some excursions. The five of us SMs, along with Jeffrey meeting us from Kendu, and Rosie, another SM who has been staying in Mara West Camp on the other side of the reserve from us. The seven of us met up in Nairobi and took a train all the way to the coast. It was such a fun time, and we got to stay at a guest house while we were there! Kim set up the trip details for us as she was encouraging us to get out and see some of the beauty Kenya has to offer, and I recommend a trip to the coast to anyone. We got to rest in the middle of a beautiful area, and the ocean water was gorgeous! This week I have mostly pictures to show. It was all surreal and amazing, and I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I'm missing the memories of them! I can fully say it was a 10/10 experience, and I'm so grateful we got to go :)

Train ride to Mombasa - about 6 hours and we saw tons of wildlife!

The way down to the private beach

During the morning when the tide was low we would walk out to the sandbars!

We found a coconut on the floor that we cracked open and ate for a snack while we played card games!

Our guide when we walked out to the sandbar to find starfish!

Drove about half an hour to a beach where we could ride camels! The next few pictures are from that day!

A restaurant we went to called Ali Barbour - the whole thing is down in a cave!
