A slightly leisurely start after last night's pub evening. It has rained heavily and all yesterday's washing was still out. Oops! But the rain is welcome and necessary. Eventully we all board the borrrowed van and head to Ukunda - Charlie, Luke and Daniel tak a matatu to Mombasa to collect the books for the library. We do some chores in Ukunda, have a pleasant lunch, then pick Simon and Sam from their hotel and head to Diani Reef Hotel for a drink and a swim.
From the bar by the beach we see a bird in the tree - it's probably a cormorant, but we nickname it a Kenyan Tree Penguin.
Then it flies away.
We took a long luxurious swim in the warm ocean, then a walk around the hotel grounds. These tree penguins had taken to the rocks.
