From Fort Jesus, we followed the directions and landmarks laid out in Lonely Plant through Old Town, Mombasa. We picked up two locals along the way, a shirtless boy and a young deaf man, both eager to point out the way to us. There were so many winding alleyways with intricate doorways and people going about their daily business, we lolly-gagged with cameras clicking away.
We took a break halfway through to get out of the heat and perk ourselves up with some delicious coffee at Jahazi, a coffee house recommended to us by an expat we met earlier that day.

I really liked Mombassa – much more than Nairobi, but that might be due to the fact that I spent most of Nairobi on the toilet.
I really liked it too. I think I liked Stone Town (Zanzibar) even more for the meandering alleyways.
