After the initial shock of arriving in Mombasa i've begun to relax and really enjoy myself! It's hot and the work load keeps us very busy.
After i met everyone at the Reef Hotel in Mombasa we bored the bus and made our way to Shimoni.

Shimoni
We headed South and after traveling for 3hrs we ran out of tarmac, from here on in it's dirt tracks all the way. About an hour later we arrived at Shimoni.

| This is the Main Street in Shamoni |
Shimoni literally means the "place of the caves" this is where the slaves were kept before being shipped off to work on the plantations.
 |
| The Slave Caves |
These caves run deep underground and continue miles inland and have been turned into a bit of a tourist attraction, not that there're many tourists in Shimoni.

After a quick tour of the cave and the town we headed back to the house to settle in.
