I woke up and found the sun is shining! I spent my last morning on the beach.

Today I feel recovered and energized enough to snorkel in the reef, but alas no time.

It’s hard to believe my trip is over. I’d like to rewind and start at the beginning again! I miss Kenya and the bush already and can’t wait to return.
On my trip I recorded:
- 42 mammal species including
- 7 species I had never seen prior
- 50 bird species including
- 16 species I had never seen prior
- 4 reptile species including
- 2 species I had never seen prior
But no snakes! There was one in Samburu but I told my guide I did not want to see it!
I have a couple of long days of travel ahead. My ticket says I have 25 hours of travel which does not include my travel from the beach. I leave here 12 hours before the 25 even begins. So 37 hours —less than coming over and getting up to Samburu but feels like a lot less fun than traveling to Africa!
Ugh. I hate to leave the beach to shower and pack but I must. It’s a gorgeous day!

Addendum
It’s fitting my trip ended the way it began — with a monkey. I was eating lunch and in a nanosecond a monkey leaped on my table, grabbed all the bread and took off!
And I’ve never seen camels lie down! Another first!
