The Beach


We finally made it to the beach this past weekend! The Indian Ocean is just as spectacular as it was the last time I left it and my housemates and I treated ourselves to a “weekend away” (technically we were still in Dar) at Kipeppeo Beach. After fending off marriage proposals from our taxi driver and a creepy dala dala rider who locals assured us was a thief, arriving at Kipeppeo on Saturday afternoon turned into a relaxing weekend of sand and surf. The best part of sleeping overnight in a beach banda was listening to the ocean as we drifted to sleep. And there is nothing better than waking up and taking a dip – so refreshing!
