Last pictures from diving. It was supposed to be the best spots for diving but Cyril (a French living in Belgium, we have been diving together) and I were quite disappointed. We were expecting much better considering what the staff told us, at one moment we were even swimming across a section and we did not see a fish for more than 10 minutes.

Since I’m in Kenya, I have heard a lot of people talking about Zanzibar and since I’m quite close to it, I may decide in the next few days to go spend some time in Tanzania. I will probably take the bus from Mombasa to Tanga and then advise. Why Tanga ? Well, Wies and Saskia (from Holland, remember, they have been with me from Nairobi to Mombasa) are staying there for about 3 months to complete their master thesis and it may be a good opportunity to see them again.

A couple of pictures from today’s dive. As you can see a wide variety of critters, including lobsters, rays, turtles and morays.

In one picture you will notice the Colobus monkeys which is a protected in Diani.

I arrived in Mombasa yesterday at 3:30PM as expected with Wies and Saskia. I dropped them at their hotel and went to Diani, 40km south via taxi. I’m staying in Diani Beachalets for 380KSh, self catering. I expect to eat some crabs, lobsters and prawns in the next few days as price from the fishermen are quite attractive: 400, 750, 600Ksh respectively without bargaining.
