Luckily, Cate had spent some time in Mombasa before and after so many days on the road, I was really glad to be in a city that was moderately familiar to her. Since she had been there before, we stayed with this family that rents out rooms occasionally. It's not a hostel per se, but I think they just rent rooms to people like my sister when they're in town. In any case, it was right on the water in the old part of Mombasa, and had these gorgeous views. We didn't see much of Mombasa itself, but instead wandered around, had tons of coffee (by this point, both Cate and I had given up on trying to drink only bottled water) and shopped.The local markets are a bit intense, but so much fun and we both picked up absurd numbers of kanga's and stuff to take back.
Mombasa is definitely a city I would like to return to and explore more.
