I was too tired yesterday to write the diary & now I can't remember why.
We went down to windsurf at Satan's again, but he didn't have enough equipment to lend us because it was out or being repaired, so myself & Rona went swimming for an hour or so.
Satan then agreed to let us have a couple of boards - minus sail - to paddle across to the mangroves on the next island. This took much less time than expected & we returned complete with cut feet from the rock oysters covering the underwater Mangrove stumps.
Then there was tea at the cheap place again with the standard pint's of fresh squeezed juice. A new experience was some lime juice (I don't think they put any sugar in it, unlike the orange!) & Rona decided upon a strawberry milkshake. When this arrived I'm sure it could have lit the town in the event of a power cut! Luminous pink, obviously made from syrup, with an aftertaste like bitter tar, horrible stuff!
On to the next morning & something in that meal had upset the stomach & bowels to give my first nasty bowel experience of the holiday.
The day started off badly when I was offered breakfast & didn't get any. For various reasons I descended into a bad mood & hopefully this will be gone by tomorrow.
The main event of the day was going to be a fishing dhow trip with associated barbecue on a beach somewhere with the catches of the day.
However the weather turned against us (as did my bowels) & we decided not to fish in the pouring rain in the middle of the sea!
Instead we opted for some juice, obviously, and some food, before visiting the Lamu museum.
This was almost interesting, filled with some history of Lamu & some relics found from the ruins on Mamba island, where we visited on the 20th.
There was a reasonable view from the top of the museum, which was originally a fort, where we could watch part of the main street as well as the ongoings at the seafront.
After this I retired to the roof to bask in my misery till dusk while the others did something unknown to me.
All that's left now is to feel better get some food, and go to bed!
