Today is our last day on this amazing island. Tomorrow morning we are going to boat it back to the bus stop and take the 6 hour bus ride to Mombasa. We are supposed to be on a nicer bus this time and I'm hoping the ride is better than the ride to Lamu. Issac has a friend with a van in Mombasa named Sammy. Sammy is going to pick us up tomorrow afternoon and drive us the 10 hours back to Nairobi. Once back in Nairobi, we will stay overnight in a hostel and take a Mutatu (van transportation from village to village) to Issac's village.
We will arrive on Kenyan Independence Day. It will also be the "Coming into Manhood" ceremony for one of Issac's sons. I'm really looking forward to friday the 12th.
Tomorrow we will say goodbye to two of our Malawi friends, Brian and Kirk. They are going back to Malawi while Austin and Sarah will spend the remainder of time with us. We've all had a really good time in Lamu. Last night we checked out the night life at a local bar. The evening ended with a few of us (me included) jumping into the Hotel/Bar pool and then getting kicked out by a Massai Warrior and the hotel manager. It probably wasn't the best idea, but it was really fun.
We are going to spend the afternoon at the beach and I will hopefully ride a camel. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
