Day 11 - The World is Our Oyster

 Our ride to the airport was not coming until after three in the afternoon so we had the day at leisure.  We slept in and went for breakfast.  We noticed the tide was out so we got into our suits after we finished eating and went to explore.
     
So pretty!
    
     
Ethan ate his weight in carbs every morning.
     
     
         
We saw eels, crabs, anemones and a puffer fish in the reef.
   
   
   
   
   
     
    
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
       
    
        
One last dessert!
   
   
      
We flew back to the domestic airport in Nairobi and were then driven over to the international airport.  We ate dinner then caught our flight back to JFK.  We actually slept quite well on the transatlantic flight.
      
    
One last look at Mount Kilimanjaro.  

Day 10 - Vitamin Sea

We slept in for the first time all vacation!  I think we got nearly twelve hours of sleep.  We didn't have anything planned so we took our sweet time at Watamu. 
           
Good morning!
   
   
   
    
   
   
   
        
It was in the eighties during the day and fell at night.  It was very breezy and the water was cold.  I missed the safaris, but Alex noted that this was a nice way to calm down after such exciting days.
   
   
    
   
    
   
      
First time in the Indian Ocean!
    
      
   
   
   
   
   
   
    
Don't be fooled by the photos, there was tons of yucky seaweed.
    
     
     
    
When it was high tide, the waves smacked the foundation of the resort and made big splashes.  Harper and Ethan played with other kids running from the splash!
