Spoiled rotten to be exact. Camping at Twiga, parked in the sand, for 25 days spoiled us through and through. We’ll have to be careful not to compare every other beach camp to Twiga – we found it difficult to come up with a reason to move on but in the end there will be other beaches, ri

ght? Yes. And while Twiga was a perfect 9.99, the only reason it doesn’t get a 10 (from me, at least) is that the bird life was unvarying and spotty. No doubt that would change but in fact it was time to move on; at the next beach these Crab Plovers put on a show and apparently birders come from all over to see them. Beautiful birds.

The Starfish Garden was a special delight. Yes, I know they are called Sea Stars now, but Starfish Garden has such a nice ring. A sandbar out on the reef is host to hundreds of these alien creatures. We joined our neighbors and their children for a visit to the garden and it was a blast finding different kinds – the adults no less excited than the kids.

Sadly we said our final goodbye to Reggie – he was our neighbor at JJ’s in Nairobi and we met up again at Twiga. Who knows, we may even meet again one day. That would be a very good day indeed.
