Mombassa and pricey hotels

2 rubbish days on buses or varying degrees of comfort. Time to splash out...still, when you splash out you have higher standards hence the 3 room changes since we've been in this colonial pile in Mombassa on the Kenyan coast.

It's a nice town though. Possibly the only one south of Cairo on this continent with atmosphere and hussle. The streets are busy, the architecture occasionally stunning (including possibly the worlds only art deco hindu temple) and the wine is cheap. It's Friday night which means Friday night tea (we've exported this concept to many fellow travellers) so we're a bit tipsy.

Now we're gonna hit a beach. So this may be the last blog for a while cause quite frankly, we only have 3 weeks left and we want to ignore the world we left behind, one more time.

Kenya is an all round African destination providing amazing entertainment for its visitors. Mombasa one of its another spectacular city is home to a lot for the travellers taking cheap flights to Mombasa but the problem comes when one has to stay at some place outstanding. The costs are quite high and it is difficult to find suitable accommodations affordably.
