Second Holiday
I’m back from my second break - two thirds of the way though this mission.... less than three months to go. In fact, due to the LogCo days in Holland at the beginning of October, I might even be back in the UK sooner than my normal end of mission date (18th October). I meant to update people and the blog last weekend, but due to a huge influx of expats and a very busy week (meetings, colleagues going off on holiday, and the usual need to catch up with the week I was away) I’m only getting round to it today.
This time I flew to Mombassa and headed straight down to Diani beach. Unfortunately the combination of being low season, the weather being poor and the beach resorts being really geared for all-inclusive European package holidays meant that it was less successful than my previous break in Zanzibar. I did get one day of diving in, but the visibility was not great and the next two days of diving were canceled due to the weather. In the end I headed up to Mombassa itself and spent the remaining 3 days walking aound the streets of Mombassa, shopping, and watching the Tour de France on satellite TV.
