Mombasa – out for a ‘free’ drink!

After a day of snorkelling and swimming in the pool, and after I took a long shower to get the sand out of my hair – Masa, Sameer, Sophia, Ali, and myself went to a bar called Leonardo’s. It was supposed to be the first stop of a few bars. Unfortunately the night was cut short! We sat for a bit sipping on Dawa’s before being interrupted by three men with guns. They were robbing all the tourists. We were told to get under the table and at first I had no idea what was going on, until I turned around when a man running by had dropped his handgun. Luckily we didn’t have much on us but he managed to take Masa’s phone and any money we had on us. Two minutes after the men had run away the police showed up and we sat up. It took a few minutes to realize what had happened. Another tourist was still hiding under her table, and some were furious. I was just happy we were all safe. The bartender decided we didn’t have to pay for our drinks – anyway we didn’t have any money left! We headed back to the resort and had a good laugh with Gulnar Masi. I don’t think any of us will be heading to Leonardo’s again!
