I observed the sun rising
I went for a short walk on a beach of the whitest, finest sand I have ever walked on.
Young boys are very deftly climbing the coconut trees to remove the dead leaves and ripe coconuts.
Staff were raking the sand in front of each bungalow, removing the seaweed
and all before most of the guests had surfaced!!
We breakfasted outdoors.
The manager introduced herself. She is a Breton and manages the resort. It is really spectacular. I'd highly recommend it for a peaceful, relaxing holiday. She gave us her card. We returned to the bungalow to pack. We are to be collected at 1100 hrs.
So African, our transport arrived at 1130. Our bags were loaded by Maasai porters. They are very tall and slim but not as tall as their Kenyan brothers. The Maasai also work here in the Safari resort and are in Maasai dress with a sheathed sword by their sides.
We arrived at the Safari resort and were met by the manager - an Italian. All the hotel managers appear to be European. He apologised for the mix up, offered us complimentary dinner and when we asked if a washing service was available, he said that there was and for us it was also complimentary.
This resort is very beautiful but hasn't the panache of the other. Though we have a sea view, the dining area deprives all rooms of a full sea view.
Its beach is a continuation of the latter resort but the attention to detail is not present here - seaweed is present on the beach.
We have relaxed here this afternoon. I'm lying at present, as I complete today's contribution, on an outdoor day bed. I also have a choice of a swing, a hammock or a dip in the pool -
Glorious!!
