Lamu Paradise

Those of you keeping up may have noticed my absence from the blog last week. The coast was calling and we took some time to answer. For our vacation, we headed to Lamu Archipelago off the north coast of Kenya. The hectic bus, matatu and ferry rides (deserving of their own post) were well worth the paradise we encountered on the island. This is, by far, the most unique place I have ever been. The pictures hardly do it justice but enjoy!

Camels just chillin on the beach waiting for unsuspecting tourists like us to come along.

No cars on Lamu, just donkeys. This sounds like an enchanting idea until a donkey drop gets stuck between your foot and flip-flop while walking through the streets at night.

The local telephone booth graveyard.

It was an interesting experience to try and enjoy the warm weather while also respecting the local Muslim culture. Lots of scarves.

Dhow riding...pole, pole (slowly, slowly)
