HI SEAS.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
― Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad/Roughing It

This week am working out of town once again. Am down at the Coast.
I must confess it has been several years since my last trip down south.
A whole lot has changed. Mombasa is no different from Nairobi in lots of ways.. traffic, matatu madness.. human traffic.
 Driving down to Mombasa without prior hotel bookings was total madness! Finding a suitable guest house took us hours of driving around viewing numerous places. #NoteToSelf

Today i visited Kilifi Town for the very first time. :* Love at first sight!
It is definitely a place i would have a second or third home. lol.
I loved the weather, the small town, the view of the yatches in the waters, the beach properties. Breathtaking!

I have learnt a couple of hard lessons since coming down here:

1. I need to travel MORE.
2. I need to travel MORE.
3. I need to travel MORE.
4. I need to travel MORE.
5. I need to travel MORE.

Seriously people, i really do need to travel and socialize much more! So much to see out here!

Meanwhile ... Back to hotel junk food and my animated movie :)

HI TEA

 “Thank God for tea! What would the world do without tea! How did it exist? I am glad I was not born before tea.”
― Sydney Smith, A memoir of the Rev. Sydney Smith

 
This week i have been working out of town.
It's always refreshing to be out of the office, there is something about being in motion that does something to you :)
I am smack in the middle of a tea estate.. le sigh! The view is nothing but breathtaking!! I could wake up to this view everyday.

The mix of the dark greens from trees and bright greens from the tea leaves is SPECTACULAR!
The air is cool and fresh. It rained last evening and right now the sun has never looked so beautiful.
The town is quiet and i notice no annoying hooting from cars!! geez. that's a winner for me.
I am itching to leave my work station and ran out to enjoy the scenery.
I am enjoying the tea brewed from the finest freshly processed tea leaves. *Life's little joys*
Living in the city makes us immune to the small things. We get so used to chaos that quiet serenity becomes dull and boring.
I love being away from the big crowded congested city. Then again the comforts of the big city are hard to come by in a small town. It's WIN-WIN really.
