Arrived in Mombasa

Well a few days have passed so I have to play catch up. Our flight from Germany left pretty early Friday morning, so we were all up and on our way to the airport by 7:30 am. We took the train back to the airport and got our tickets for the flights and met up with the few others that didn’t go to Germany. It was another LONG day of traveling. We finally landed in Mombasa, Kenya around one in the morning on Saturday and had to go through immigration, baggage claim, and customs. Three vans from Elective Africa met us at the airport and loaded up our bags to take us to the compound. We didn’t do much else that evening since it was so late. We got a short tour (in the dark) of the compound. There is the main house, which has a kitchen, living area, and three bedrooms. Outside the main house there are three other cabins with bunk beds and a private bathroom. I am in cabin number one with two girls that I came with and also a girl from Texas who will be leaving at the end of this week. There is also a little courtyard in the center of the compound and a patio with deck tables and umbrellas. The pool is right outside my cabin and there is also a table and chairs out by the pool and mattresses to float on. The water is always nice and warm since its about 82 degrees year round here. We didn’t do much unpacking that night since it was so late when we got in and got settled. We all just headed to bed with the intent to sleep in a little the next morning.
