Last weekend Sarah, Eleanor and I went to Tiwi beach, south of Mombasa. It was a 12 hour overnight bus journey to get there on a very dilapidated bus but it was worth it for the beautiful empty beach we found when we arrived.
We camped on the beach which was great, except it was very windy and I thought the tent might blow away at one point. At least it was cool at night though. The sea was really warm and we ate fresh coconuts and mangos.
On Saturday night we went out to a few bars at the next beach along which was much more of a resort. We went to a beach bar for gin and tonics, white wine and bacon and camembert salad - felt like we were on a proper holiday! The next bar was more interesting though. It was a club full of middle aged western men sitting on their own and young Kenyan girls dressed up to the nines, looking stunning who were attempting to pick them up. More interesting were the middle aged western couples who were each looking for a young Kenyan. I wish I could have taken photos for my blog because I couldn't stop staring!
Sunday night was more relaxed - a fish bbq on the beach and a camp fire.
