This Way to the Beach

We all need our places of refuge. In Dar, I take my refuge with white sand and clear blue water....

Getting to our favourite beach requires taking a ferry across the bay and you never know who you might run into...

There are always these boats pulled up by the shore. We have no idea if they ever actually go anywhere

People literally race off the boat to get to the buses... we aren't sure why because there seems to be an endless supply.

After our bus ride we always have the option of pursuing the art and craft stands on our way to the beach resort

The path to the resorts is usually pretty quiet and there are tons of flowers all around

Though there are a few hazards along the way...

As promised, white sand and clear blue water...

Picture postcard perfect!

And the water is beautiful and shallow for swimming

And there are always many people selling sarongs and scarves.

For reasons we don't fully understand there are also a lot Masai, some of who sell things and some just seem to be chilling out with people.

And once there were cows...

And if the beach gets dull, there is always the pool and the rain dance!

And then the sun goes down and its time to catch a cab ride home.
