Gede ruins

We got up early on Sunday morning to visit the ruins at Gede - an old muslim Swahili town which had been famed along the coast. Our guide spoke rapid english and punctuated sentences with "are you follow me" to check if we were keeping up, and spoke of the secretans in the tombs (three tombs in I realised he meant skeletons). All in all its an interesting place / palace and the various methods they used for sanitation in terms of clean and dirty water were ingenious.

Although it was interesting the highlight for me were the baobobs.

For details of the site see Kenyan National Museum Site







We also visited the museum attached - where I was impressed by craftsmanship of the door!
