DAY17:24/08/10 (Fort Jesus: Mombasa Kahama)

"Prince Peter & Infanta Raquel."

Morning: Joan and I slept in today and left for Mombasa town as soon as we had finished our prayer time and breakfast.

We strolled down the cool Bombari Avenue and got to the shopping Mall in about 45min-Joan complained that the sun was too hot so we got a free ride from a good citizen who took us to the mall in his car.

Noon: We took the Matatu to the city center and stopped at the General Post Office from where we strolled to the historic Fort Jesus, Our tour guide “Jack” was a very brilliant young man of about 33yrs who spoke excellent English, his manners were so nice that he impressed both Joan and I immediately-Easy and kind personality, gentle and very patient with us. Though he was somewhat tipsy we could'nt help but love this young man.

His rendition of the historic facts and his deep bass timbre reminded me of Lorne Green and his “The Last of the Wild”

He took us through the coral carved spaces and the Museum and the whole of the Man shaped Fort build by The Portugues explorer, Vasco Da Gama.

After the tour we were so satisfied with him that we gave him more than 5times his original asking price (though I had haggled with him earlier to get a very good discount before the tour of the fort and the old city)
We prayed that God would reveal Himself to this young man and many like him around this place-So full of potentials but with little or no opportunities to make anything out of it. Our hearts melted for him and we agreed to keep in touch with him and reach out to him as much as we can.
