After the first phase of my Kenya tour, I embarked on the second phase of the tour - which was to visit Mombasa, Kenya's seaport city and the country's second largest city.
According to an article I came across from the Internet search on travel Kenya, nearly everyone who tours Kenya goes to Mombasa to make their Kenya tour complete - and I didn't want to be the exception.
In fact according to a blog run by a person who apparently tours Kenya regularly that I found on one of the travel Kenya Kenya directories, there are actually people who equate a tour to Mombasa to the whole Kenya tour.
It is from this understanding then that I took my flight to Mombasa - which took me about 45 minutes.
From the travel Kenya resources I had learnt that Mombasa is warm - actually hot - city, and this proved to be true right from the moment I landed in this city.
While visiting Mombasa on my Kenya tour, I had the opportunity to visit the city's fort Jesus - which I was told was built in the medieval times by the Portuguese and a small part of which is damaged.
Most of the time though I spent lazing on Mombasa pristine beaches, and one thing I noticed is that Mombasa (while apparently a Muslim city) is actually more cosmopolitan city than Nairobi, with people of all colors walking its narrow streets and beaches.
It is this Mombasa phase of my Kenya tour that was most relaxing and I agree that anyone who tours Kenya and fails to visit Mombasa misses out on quite a lot.
