Mombasa Time

We got to Mombasa last night. Nice quick 45 min plane ride that I dont really remember because I slept the whole time. Mombasa is a very pretty city when you go to the ocean. Its pretty much organized chaos on the streets just like Nairobi, however we have this great Rasta guy that Saul and Vanessa know from previous trips who just takes us everywhere. His name is Madi, and hes one of the coolest people I have met. He live on the deserted island that we will be visiting in a couple of weeks. Hes also a fisherman, so I told him that I wanted to go fishing with him in his canoe in the Indian Ocean. Its going to be an awesome experience.

This morning we woke up at 5 am to see the sunrise, however being tourists and not knowing better, the sun doesnt rise until about 6:15, plus it got cloudy on us, so we didnt get to see it. We might try again tomorrow.

After breakfast we had some training, then we shopping all around Mombasa with Madi. The shops are amazing. Just these little shops in small ally ways, that you go to an bargain until you cant bargain anymore. I got some really great gifts, but I think I have to keep it secret for now.

changeIT!
