Aksel and I were just 12 days on Lamu (Kenyan island in the Indian Ocean) in holiday. The journey has us both very well done, even if the trip was a disaster of Mombasa to Lamu: 5:30 clock
Aksel and I torment us from our beds. Aksel and I were just 12 days on Lamu (Kenyan island in the Indian Ocean) in holiday. The journey has us both very well done, even if the trip was a disaster of Mombasa to Lamu:
5:30 clock 5:45 clock
calls The motorcycle taxi driver and says that he was on his way.
6:10 clock
We stand with our backpacks in front of our room and wait for him.
6:15 clock
We are a bit nervous, because the taxi driver is not there yet and will depart 6:30 our bus clock of Mombasa. So we call him and it turns out that he has not even set off, but that he does now on his way.
6:25
clock begins the journey.
6:30 clock
We have made it. We are on time.
6:31
Aksel clock ringing mobile: The bus company Thameed: The bus arrives at 9 clock.
Please ?????? Not that we would have tortured at 5:30 from our beds. Not that we had to taxi drivers get on your nerves. Not that we would have made himself crazy ....
breathe deep! ... And go to the nearest café to drink a chai, a bite to eat and wait.
7:00 clock
The Chai is all that mandazi are eaten, the cafe is too hot. We change the venue.
7:10 clock
The next restaurant I order a cold Fanta. Opposite us to put three Kenyans and start a conversation with us: "You see, I do not have a job. Kenyan are soo poor. You could hang a big poster on the wall On which is written "no jobs". Where are you from? Oh, Canada. I would like to go there, but I do not have the money. You Europeans are so rich .... "
After one of his Kenyan Action lecture was finished, I tried to explain to him that I know, but would not rich and that I was sure that he would like it in Germany (especially this time of year) do not like. We talked long and I had the feeling that they at least understood that I was tired of waiting to be seen by the majority of Kenyans either as a ticket to Europe, sex objects or money machine.
8:30 clock
Kenyans are wondering whether we would have at least 100 shillings for them, because they do not have jobs and feed their families need.
WAASSS ??????? I looked at the last two hours imaginary conversation? Were disappointed We stop in the direction.
8:45 clock
We have to wait any more. We must, however, and in the blazing sun, as there is on this side of the road no shade.
9:00 clock
No bus in sight. I call the Thameed bus service and the person on the phone tells me that the bus is nearby and will come right.
9:30 clock
Call back Thameed: The bus is stuck in traffic. I change the street in order not to burn up in the sun. Aksel endures.
9:45 clock
I get a marriage proposal from a Kenyan.
clock 10:00
calls a really friendly Kenyans for us and brings Thameed learned that the 6:30 bus was gecancelled, held in Mombasa as a Muslim festival was, and was built with the 10-clock bus together. 10 clock bus? I think he should depart 9 covered clock?
clock 10:30
Aksel and I encourage you tell us about the unreliability of the Kenyans, and their joy about the stories.
clock 10:45
I've had enough and go into the Tuskys (a Kenyan supermarket) to buy an ice cream Aksel, so at least he gets a bit cool. Just arrived in Tuskys, my phone rings: Aksel! "Lise, come quickly, the bus drove straight past me!"
clock 10:49
Finally on the bus! Malindi
Up it goes with the road, even if the bus driver's Profession exerts more like a rally driver.
13 clock
From Malindi we go to Lamu. The road is, to put it mildly, a disaster. The bus threatening varies from left to right, which the driver but does not take an opportunity to slow its speed - the main thing we are still in the light on Lamu.
clock 14:30
I ask the conductor how long it will take: "1 hour".
clock 14:50
On the road with nails are tipped boards ... a Staßensperre. We have to turn right into the police station, get off the bus must be complete and all men are searched plus bus.
clock 15:15
The police officer searched me, in which it once takes a look in my bag and touched it. Aksel has more problems than its contact lens solution appears to the police officials to look very suspicious.
clock 15:25
The search is terminated and to be honest, could have smuggled every mediocre petty criminals at least 2 kg of cocaine through this control.
17 clock
We have actually managed to Lamu. It is very hot, but the noise is balm to the soul, since it no cars on Lamu, only donkeys are as a carrier. We are from a sympathetic (that is exceptionally time not totally intrusive) led to our desired inn but unfortunately the owner of a week in Malindi and the inn is so close.
clock 20:30 After a bit of searching, we found a very nice and affordable accommodation. Totally exhausted we both lie on our bed and try to sleep. The only thing that keeps us from the chants of the muezzin and the donkey screams. :)
Good night!
