Today is our official last day in Kenya. I woke up wayyyyy too early, so finished packing and chilled in my room until breakfast. After breakfast we found out that we can keep our rooms until 1 :) so we to changed, and I sunbathed, josh and theo played in the pool, and parents went for a romantic walk on the beach. We had lunch around 12.30, then cleared out our rooms and headed up to reception. The bus was waiting to take us straight to Malindi airport, so we ...

This morning I was feeling a little sickly, which was a shame as we were going snorkelling. But I went out anyways.

We also found out that Colin knows someone from my dads work called Mike Bradley, Steve and Liz Aisthorpe, and was at sc...

Today was orientated around the African Market at 2. We woke up, breakfast at 9, sunbathed, chilled, went in the pool, and picked up our clothes from Becky - VERY impressed!!

My mum isn't impressed with her dress which, according to josh, looks like an apron. So when we get home, my mum is going to chop and change it so it actually is an apron!! Af...

Wow. So today was a "lie-in". I woke up at 7 then again at 8.30, then got up and dressed for a yummy breakfast buffet at 9!! After breakfast we read, played cards etc then headed to the pool (less than 100 metres from our rooms!!) for an hour of sunbathing and swimming. My bikini top definitely is a little small for me!! After swimming and reading/sunbathing we went for lunch. Buffet of course!! After lunch we went back to reading and playing cards, then josh a...
