Here are more Starfish Garden photos – we could have stayed there all day gathering them up and playing with them. There was one that I only saw from the skiff, a bright green color; I may have to go back there and find it again as I did not get a photo. And neither of us need much of a reason to return to Twiga Beach. As the rains pour down and the mud deepens and the roads become harder to drive, we do wonder 
why we left.
Malawi is calling us. It is time to leave Tanzania with all its fabulous parks and terrible roads. We did find out the hard way that yes, some towns do have speed-trap cameras. No speed signs of course. You are suppose to know how slow to go, the policeman said. Hope they use our fine for some signage. At least we weren’t pressured for a bribe.
Thanks for all the comments, everyone. Keep them coming, we are here all day.
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 s
aid 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.
