Pinewood Village

We have settled in here nicely. Went shopping today with Marlene and her two friends. Olivia and Lenor, two nice Irish ladies would you believe! I needed to get myself a new bag, the thugs at Mombasa airport dealing with the luggage ripped my other one. We also got a good supply of water, it cost 180 shillings a bottle at Pinewood so I bought a load at 30 shillings a bottle, and a bit of wine etc.
The rest of the day was spent around the pool and on the beach. That will probably be the story for the time that we have left. Apart from a bit of microlight flying maybe, snorkelling and perhaps some fishing. It's a hard life!

Mombasa.....Pinewood Village

We have settled in nicely. For the first time yesterday we were able to fully relax. I was up early and caught the sunrise, excited in my new surroundings like a big kid. There are a lot of different birds here, strange looking crabs,  very noisy frogs and mischievous monkeys. Again we have to make sure the doors are shut when we leave the apartment.
Last night we had a barbie on the beach. Not your ordinary barbie, very well organised by the hotel, very posh. I had a bit of goat and quite liked it. The food throughout this holiday has been very good, even Marlene has been ok and eating a lot of healthy salad.
