We were relatively lazy today. It was a hot night! Andrew Sparkes, manager of bedding at Harvey Norman Midland once told us that a person sweats an average of 500 ml per night. We think we had maybe lost at least 3 litres each! In any case, we got more sleep than usual given that we had an early dinner and went to bed relatively early - a change from our Nairobi party days... Adam, the cook at JamboHouse, made us complimentary breakfast of omelettes and toast with a side of fruit and fresh juice. Calvin had chilli in his omelette whilst Kate decided Lamu was hot enough and went for the chilli-less option. FaceTimed family and friends for a while before heading off into the world of stone walls, narrow alleys, cats and donkey dung. It was around noon by the time we were wandering around so the weather was pretty steamy - the waterfront was better with a sea breeze blowing through (nothing like Geraldton wind). The waterfront is busy during the day with donkeys, handcarts everywhere, boats coming and going, people walking to and fro, people sitting on the walls, and touts trying to coax us into ferrying over to Shela or Manda, or guide us around town. First stop was the Lamu Museum to get a history of this interesting place. Lamu Old Town is a UNESCO heritage site due to its unique history and maintenance of Swahili culture. Lamu's isolation has meant that modernisation has had relatively minimal impact on the way of life here and so the culture and buildings remain mostly unchanged. With a large Muslim population here, you get a sense of respect for each other and also a real sense of community. You also hear the call to prayer anywhere you go (and at the crack of dawn too!). We realised how unfit we both have become - although Calvin blames it on the heat. Climbing stairs in the museum was difficult enough - and once you're out of the sea breeze, the air becomes as solid as a brick, not to mention the sweat slowly seeping out of our pores!  To try and get back to being fit and healthy, we had copious amounts of natural sugars in a massive glass of freshly made mango and coconut (Kate's choice) and mango and passionfruit (Calvin's choice) milkshakes. After all, fruit is healthy, right? To make sure we had the energy to tackle the Lamu Fort, we had a ginormous lunch of red snapper fillet in coconut and tamarind sauce with coconut  cream rice (Calvin's choice) and grilled calamari with coconut cream rice (Kate's choice). $15 lighter, we rolled out of the Bushgarden Restaurant - our abs were so tight from all the food and drinks we had. Lamu Fort is a nice place to climb and watch the world pass by. Also a nice place to meet cats and a welcome respite from touts. Picked up a 5L bottle of water from the supermarket for $1.50. Calvin probably sweated 5L carrying it home. Had a 2nd cold shower for the day and watched a movie before heading out for dinner. Dinner was at Lamu Palace Hotel - still full from lunch, Kate and Calvin shared a chicken and pineapple pizza and fruit salad with ice-cream sitting out on the waterfront. A delightfully early dinner meant we had time to FaceTime Willy, Carmen and Batu and others at the volunteer house in Nairobi which was good fun - particularly the game of spotting Willy on the screen when the power flicked on and off.  Calvin won a game of Phase 10 - a celebration to mark 1 month since leaving Australia.
