Black and white in Afirca

A night flight in a plane full of kids either running around of screaming is always fun. A broken computer system leading to a 2 hour queue for visas just goes to remind us why we love travel so much

Managed to scrounge a lift so we didn't have to tackle Mombasa taxis. We had refused the online offer of a coach transfer but no-one told the Cosmos rep so a coach load of holiday makers waited for us for ages in the midday sun - boy were we popular.

Hotel great, very few Europeans but lots of Kenyans on holiday- Though the pool could get a bit crowded

The bit of Kenya we have seen has wonderfully friendly, helpful people and superb weather. There is much more obvious poverty than we have seen elsewhere and a lot more crime. A wander round the Mombasa old town led to us getting lost and two guys helping us out. While they were doing this a third guy snatched Marilyn's necklace from her neck and ran off. We should had realised that even crap, cheap jewellery attracts stupid thieves .
