Friday and Saturday were spent getting to see and know this area of Kenya. Friday we first walked to the beach. My first time to see the Indian ocean. It really was beautiful. The beaches I've been to don't compare. White sand, blue water, and creatures we don't have at home. Then after lunch we drove to Mombasa county to go to Haller Park. We fed giraffes, walked around right next to tons of monkeys, watched them feed hippos and crocodiles, and saw a unicorn oryx (antelope). Then Saturday we drove the other direction to Malindi. There we went to Falconry of Kenya where they have birds and reptiles. That was really cool. I got to hold several different birds of prey. Then lunch was pizza. One of them had ham and eggs on it and another was a seafood pizza with octopus. That was interesting. And then we visited the Malindi tourist market before heading home. We got home later than we intended because, well, this is Kenya. I've heard that phrase a lot but now I'm learning what it means. Those two days were much more than sightseeing. They were learning culture and riding in the front seat of the car for hours with matatus, motorcycles, and tuk-tuks all around. There's so much that I've seen, heard, and learned this weekend that I can't put into words.
