July 2: Diani Beach, Kenya

Sunrise over Diani Beach from our balcony.

At breakfast: we were seated by the hostess who asked if we would like coffee. We both asked for coffee with milk (hot milk, the African way). We served ourselves at the buffet, ordered and had an omelet cooked, ate our food… the coffee arrived just as I had my last bite of croissant… BAM!

At the pool: the pool deck was still deserted… good for us as we again had our choice of loungers.

At the pool: the pool-guy (can’t think of him as a “pool-boy”) would still lean against the poolside bar all day long rather than earn tips… BAM!

Poolside bar – Coconut Willy’s: the bartender still just stands behind the bar all day long… BAM!

Lunch on pool deck: no luck with anyone offering menus on the deck today. Eron had to go find a waiter to ask for one… BAM!

Nice touch: on returning to our room, we found two fresh coconuts that Mohammed (the gardener) had picked for us.

Grounds: the huge African Millipedes are still everywhere. They’re still very creepy… alien-creepy. We’re starting to develop a theory about their origins.

Evening activity: checked the notice board by the pool yesterday and it stated the evening activity was, “Disco Night”. We didn’t hear or see any disco; figured it didn’t happen because it was Sunday. Today, the board still says it will be, “Disco Night”. When we left the restaurant after dinner, we saw one of the animation crew setting up his speakers by the pool… luckily, we couldn’t hear disco night from our room.
