Sadly, I am coming up to the end of my amazing time in Kenya. The last week in Watamu has been incredible. Everyone here in Watamu have been so hospitable to me, and so so generous. I have been waterskiing, involved in a fishing competition on mida creek, played some hockey at ocean sports, and have been just relaxing on the beautiful beach of Watamu. I left the engel's beautiful home on the Sunday morning, and moved in with Clare Moller and her daughter, Tiva, who is also at Pembroke! They too have a beautiful home on the beach front, and she has been so hospitable, inviting me to Lunches, suppers, and parties all around Watamu, giving me the opportunity to meet so many lovely people. I've never met someone so willing to get her guest involved in the social life of Watamu!
However, I firstly want to thank the Engel's for such a fun couple of days. I had never met them beforehand, yet they welcomed me with open arms into their beautiful home. I also met their beautiful daughter, Gaby, who was great fun and stupidly good at mono skiing, and her and barney combined made for an hilarious couple of days. Sadly, both Barney and Gaby flew back to school yesterday, so haven't been able to spend as much time as I would have hoped with them, but nonetheless, it was a fun couple of days with them, not forgetting the Islam channel! Inside joke....! I feel so privalidged to have met some an amazing family, and spend a couple of days with them.
The last couple of days have been nice and relaxed, whilst going out most meals with other people. I feel as if I have been accepted into the elite Watamu community! But yes, I've have a very subdued couple of days, which I've loved, as I've spent the majority of the time walking along the beach, meeting more and more people, and swimming in the baby blue sea. now i can't remember if I mentioned this in my last post, but whilst walking along the beach, I saw this fully grown turtle being released into the sea, having been caught by a fisherman by accident. I also almost stepped on a stingray whilst swimming, and saw a camel wandering along the beach. It really is paradise here.
Sadly i'm only here until Friday morning, but I have well and truly loved my time here in Watamu, and do hope I can come back soon. My plans for the next couple of days, is to relax by the beach, then travel to Mombasa, where I then fly to rainy Nairobi, and then stay the night there, and finally fly back to the UK!
I can't wait to see you all when I get back. As amazing as my time has been here in Kenya, I can't wait to see all my family and friends, and catch up!
See you all soon!
