Pretty soon it was getting dark and supper had to be prepared. It was time to light up the jiko, had been a long time since i had last done this 🙂 and  with the ever helpful  sideword giving a helping hand.

and they came up with some delicious looking and tasting chicken stew. Below are the two final products, a whole lot of ugali and the delicous chicken stew, with @sideword standing guard over the ugali.

After the eating was done it was time to get the bonfire lit, sit back, relax and while the night away

With the sounds of the waves as a backdrop, people just fell asleep where they were sitted, under the clear night sky, and woke up ealry in the morning to catch the beautiful sunrise.

After breakfast, everyone went down to the beach for a swim. South Coast has the most beautiful beaches on the Kenyan Coast and Tiwi is simply one of the best. With almost no beach boys to hassle you and the crowds that are common on the North Coast beaches, Tiwi is simply idilic for a nice relaxed swim and the tweeps took full advantage of it.

Lunch was grilled fish, freshly caught and delievered to the campsite by a local fisherman unfortunately with no ugali since no one was willing to leave the lovely swim and come cook it.

With our bellies full and with relaxed and happy smiles on our faces, we soon had to pack up and leave for out time in this little slice of paradise was up and the real world was calling us back, but one thing is for sure. We will be back.
