safari by numbers contd. (without the numbers)

PART 3: TIWI FINALLY

MK is so impatient he runs from the taxi to the beach and then comes back when he realises i'm carrying all the luggage and we have to at least check in.

but it IS a relief!! to finally step foot on sand. the rooms are simple. twiga lodge has the following options;

budget rooms:

1,100/- single
2,000/- double

superior rooms with sea view, hot baths and showers

4,500/- double with breakfast
3,000/- single with breakfast

camping (with own tent. showers and toilets provided)

300/- pp
200/- per child 3-12 years
free for children under 3 years


the double budget room we take has a shower (cold), a balcony (with a glimpse of the beach) and a fan.

you can borrow a book in exchange for another book at the reception :)

the distinct quiet that tiwi has in comparison to diani is something i really enjoy. the sand is clean, there is a lot of shade and a lot less beach boys and tourists.

i'm quite amused by the red bodies around though and i take to taking pictures of them. MK doesn't understand the fascination but for me it amuses me like wildlife lol.
