Jambiani

I did not sleep well and was awake at 7.15 am. Around 8 am I had breakfast and then prepare me for a walking tour.

I walked to the main road and followed it three kilometres to the south. Just south of Jambiani lays Mfumbwi. I turned into the road to the lodge with the same name and followed the road, keeping to the left.



After 3.5 kilometres I arrived at my destination; Kuumbi caves. It was closed, but it was easy to get on the path to the caves. A path of more than half a kilometre. In cave there were some information posts that here various bones and tools were found that can be dated back to 20.000 BC. People used to live here. They are two contiguous caves where nothing special can be seen anymore. However, the formation of stalactites and stalagmites are nice. I walked around a bit. There were several paths, but they seemed to lead nowhere and I walked back. At the toilets I saw a small snake shooting away.

Along the path back many butterflies, grasshoppers, dragonflies and other insects. I also heard birds everywhere. Further along the path are fields where corn and fruit was grown. Quite an attractive place in terms of nature. Despite the many dark clouds it remained dry. Back in the village I walked along the beach for a long time. The water was high, so there was not much beach. The last part I walked through village again, because I could not get around a protruding rock without getting wet shoes.



Around 1.30 pm I was back again, walking about 14 kilometres. I was glad that I could take off the walking shoes. Reading and surfing internet and relaxed the rest of the afternoon. Read again and listen to music after dinner.
