Sunday, October 25th, 2009: Day of rest, finally!

The monkey who came into my room and stole 5 bananas!

Today is beach day.  Bought some keychains for most of my friends.  They carve the names on safari animal shapes such as Lion, elephant, cheetah or rhino.  Only $200 ksh each.  JJ was the vendor.  Hope to get more tomorrow.

Drank beers at the hotel bar after suntanning on the beach for a bit.  Quite hot.  Beach is nice but they don't comb the sand, so there is a lot of seaweed and little sandcrabs at the water's edge too.  No chairs or loungers like on the beaches in Punta Cana or Montego Bay.  So next time I would bring a mat and a blow up pillow.

Also did some hand washed laundry today.  While I was in the bathroom a monkey came into my room and stole about 5 bananas.  Scared me as I was coming out with my wet laundry as he was still in my room.  Cheeky bugger, wouldn't leave right away and kept eyeing me thru the glass doors and I had to hide the bananas in the fridge outside.  I was scared he was going to pluck them right out of my hands!  More monkeys came out later, before we went for dinner and we did give them a few bananas.  I was trying to get food to the mom's with babies but the big ones kept stealing them.  The little ones were really cute, the big ones scared me!

We all has nice warm showers to get ready for dinner.  I really did not bring anything to wear out, wasn't thinking that we would have time to go to a disco.  Hillie had a cute black skirt, and I wore it as a dress LOL.  It worked.

We went to one place for dinner.  Chicken and chips.  Took Paul, Julius and Livingstone with us as a treat.  Had tuskers and watch the soccer match.  Went to the disco later, ladies free, men $100 ksh.  Lots of dancing!
