I recently went out on a holiday. A long one for that matter. Three days in Medina with fam and a week at Flamingo Beach Resort thanks to my employer.

Am always the errand boy when we do our road trips or do our fun visits. Am always the director of photography, the lights guy and the primary and secondary photographer. Let me not bore you with stories. Let the photos tell the story.

Location: Medina Palms – Watamu

Gadget: Nikon D610

Day 1: The questions

Siz: “Siloma are you ready? You know am doing this make makeup for photos.”

Bro: “Bro niokolee vest.”

Cuzo: “Am I fat?”

Me: ? – Tired already.

And what I love about me is that am a good teacher. I called bro to tell him to take one good one like the one I took them. Ours was more amazing.

Day 2: The follow-ups

Siz: “Your photos were not that bad. Today I want sasa Instagram Material.”

Bro: “Manze bro nilisahau short.”

Cuzo: “This doesn’t make me look fat, sindio?”

Me: ? – Dead already.

So today I teach a waiter to take us, one good one ?

But again I cannot breathe…

And as soon as some people see that…

And later that evening we take a stroll to the beach. I wish I never carried my camera.

Luckily to appease the ancestors in the camera, we went Kayaking.

And because I have a sister who will read this blog and ask, “Kwanini hukuweka ile yangu” let me just post it

Then we decided to do some – I don’t know what they are called ?

Day 3: The Nolstagia

Siz: “Aki our holiday is over”

Bro: “Manze next time sitahau kubeba stuff.”

Cuzo: “Aki I hope sijanona na hizi food nimekula huku”

Me: ? – Bury me already. But wait, my holiday just got started. As you guys fly back to Nairobi, I head to Mombasa for another week of fun. Who’s laughing now?

This day we wrap it in style.

Then the copycats as usual…

So we went snorkeling. And this was the most amazing part of the trip. The coral was just, breath-taking. It made me add one thing to my bucket list – deep sea diving.

Am a swimmer, I have to warm it up with some cool-downs

We went to a local joint for some Italian Pizza

Tuktuk Girl. At least this was an original work of art.

That was a well-deserved trip. It was amazing. I loved it. I had lots of fun.
