Bamburi Beach

This was a very familiar scene on the beach outside our hotel, we never got to ride on the camels, we did ask one guy, but he wanted to charge us some over-inflated tourist price. The camels lived at the end of the very long and colourful beach, every day the vendors would be there, selling their wares. The first time we ventured out on the beach, we were caught unawares, we had just arrived at the hotel, got quickly changed and went down to have a look. We got heavily bombarded from all directions from people selling everything from safaris to bracelets, it was so funny, we didn't know which way to turn, and the thing was that the people are so pleasant and friendly, you couldn't be abrupt to them and they in turn wouldn't take no for an answer. This happened every time we went down on the beach, we very rarely had a romantic walk alone, we used to joke about it with all the vendors. Towards the end of our time there, they got to know us and just used to chat with us. When the tide came in at the end of the afternoon, the water used to come right up and the vendors all packed up and went home, this was the time when I would get into the warm ocean and play around in the waves.
