Day Ten - On the Road again

We are all up at 5.00 am. After bidding the folks kwaheri, we hit the road using three bicycles. I ride myself in my mother-in laws bike, Daniel, the family poet, takes Georgina, while a neighbourhood lad takes Gregory and Natasha on one bike. We are riding to a bus stage called Peleleza to intercept the bus from Mukowe at 8.15 am. The Falcon bus seems to be stopping at every imaginable place on the whole way to Mombasa where we arrive at 3.00pm

A friend picks us up at the Bondeni bus terminal and drives us to our car. We proceed to the Bamburi Beach are where we are staying for the night in a delightful cottage on the beach. After showers and a walk on the beach, we go for dinner at the Kigotho’s Hotel & Apartments on Nyali Links Road. It is my first time here. They have reasonably priced cottages and excellent nyama choma. They also have an enticing swimming pool. We retire at 9.30 pm.
