Enjoying some Fun in the Sun on March Break
This past week was our children's March break vacation from Rosslyn Academy. We enjoyed four days away at the Indian Ocean, just North of Mombassa town on Nyali Beach. The drive from Nairobi to the coast use to take as much as twelve hours with traffic jams and road construction, but (if you can get out of the city earlier enough) the trip can now be done in less than six hours.

One of our favourite vacation spots in Kenya is the Bahari Beach Resort, a popular German vacation spot, built on a spectacular coral cliff side. The low slung Makuti roofed complex (banana/palm leaf coverings), form a relaxing atmosphere. We had a great few days swimming, building sandcastles, reading, chasing monkeys, and playing games.

Camels on the Beach
Unlike beaches in Atlantic Canada, one of the unique features of East African beaches are the camels. You can hire a camel for a short stroll or a day long beach safari. Our kids took a short walk about a km up the beach.

It was great getaway! This week our kids are back to school and we are back to work. Thank you so much for keeping our family in your prayers. We are hoping to have some new content edited and up on the Podbean and iTunes podcast list soon. We'll post a link on the blog once they are ready.
God bless!
