Hi all!
After 3 weeks of almost non-functional internet, we finally have a faster connection at work. Very glad of this as it means I am now able to look up articles and reliably send emails (obviously essential when doing research and when your boss is in another country!!). And, perhaps more importantly, am now able to post the rest of the Lamu photos. Enjoy! Love, K x

Lots of dhows had flags on them. Some were confused and had two or more. Ours had Jamaican and Swedish flags.
