Mombasa, Diani Beach

Here we are on a glass bottom boat. Jeff and I went snorkeling off the boat, very cool! Our guide gave me a sea urchin to feed the fish, it was a frenzy!
This pretty much says it all! There was a pool very near our cottage and we used it a lot! Jeff loves this hat, made from the palms of a coconut tree. He bought it for about $3 on the beach and was very proud of his bargain.



We all rode camels up and down the beach. This is by far Sam's favorite memory of the trip! He is crying in this pic but he eventually really enjoys himself and is very proud he rode a camel!



Max LOVED the beach!


Sam LOVED the pool!


View from our veranda.


This is the second floor of our cottage. The thatched roof went up about two more stories, like living in the trees. It was a very cool cottage.
This was a great holiday for us! While the cottage was not as close to the beach as we thought, it was a great compound. We saw a lot of monkeys in the mango trees, very entertaining! The pool was nice and the people there were great!


Only eight weeks until we return to Boston. The time is flying! All in all this has been an amazing experience for our family. I am glad to be coming home, but will miss a lot about Kenya and will surely be back!
