Patrick's day three
Thu 20th October - 6.46pm by Patrick Cosgrave
Today we visited old town Mombasa, where the streets are tiny and the sewers are open! We walked for a while through the streets passing shops and giant mountains of burning litter. Our tour guide was very friendly and I was glad to have him around because everyone else did not seem very glad to have tourists in the neighbourhood. I was continuously worried about getting lost or worse. I would like to say something nice about old town, after all I mean No disrespects to its residents, but I can't think of a single thing. I don't want to go back. Ever. The water here still tastes funny.

Hey Pat. Liking the blogs. Keep it up! Make sure you check the water supply is actually drinkable, might explain the funny taste. ;p

It's shocking how some people live & very uncomfortable to walk amongst them but not a bad thing to experience, all part of life's rich tapestry!
Oww, big spiders, not very nice for you!
I hope you are taking lots of photos.
Enjoy the Aligator meat, probably your only chance to try it.
