After weeks of planning, well more of weeks of talking about it and a day of planning and frantic last minute shopping with @Shiko_Msa , the Mombasa twitter family compromising of I, @Shiko_Msa, @samnato, @Iquira1, @sideword plus some MKZ fellows Flo, Kirt, Gaby and Veena finally packed up our bags crossed the ferry and headed to Tiwi for a relaxed and chilled out weekend, and what fun it was.
We got to Tiwi late afternoon and started pitching the tents, a new experience to most of the tweeps and the strong wind at the beach wasnt helping much either, @Samnato and Veena had to chase down and catch their tent which was caught in the wind and took off.
Pretty soon it was getting dark and supper had to be prepared. It was time to light up the jiko, had been a long time since i had last done this :) and with the ever helpful sideword giving a helping hand.
With the Jiko blazing in all its glory (hehehe) the chefs got to work and they came up with some delicious looking and tasting chicken stew. Below are the two final products, a whole lot of ugali and the delicous chicken stew, with @sideword standing guard over the ugali.
After the eating was done it was time to get the bonfire lit, sit back, relax and while the night away
With the sounds of the waves as a backdrop, people just fell asleep where they were sitted, under the clear night sky, and woke up ealry in the morning to catch the beautiful sunrise.
After breakfast, everyone went down to the beach for a swim. South Coast has the most beautiful beaches on the Kenyan Coast and Tiwi is simply one of the best. With almost no beach boys to hassle you and the crowds that are common on the North Coast beaches, Tiwi is simply idilic for a nice relaxed swim and the tweeps took full advantage of it.
Lunch was grilled fish, freshly caught and delievered to the campsite by a local fisherman unfortunately with no ugali since no one was willing to leave the lovely swim and come cook it.
Fianlly some photos of the campsite.
Update: For some reason some galleries are missing some photos, will try update them later on.
