Mombasa is a culturally mixed city, with lots of Indian and Portuguese influences that can still be seen in the architecture and the people still living there (many Indians/people of Indian descent). It's a shame that the buildings are so run down as some of them are quite impressive. Our driver/guide did tell us that people were renovating them, but honestly I didn't see very much of that going on, so even if it were the case it would take many years until this could be evidenced!
We did go to the fort in Mombasa (Fort Jesus) and had a driver take us on a quick tour of the city. The fort looks out over the Indian ocean and is one of the main tourist attractions in Mombasa. It was called Fort Jesus after the Portuguese who conquered the city came sailing under the flag of the Order of Christ, thus making it a fitting name. The people at the fort also said that the fort was built in the shape of Jesus - which is a bit difficult to see - although with a lot of imagination one can maybe understand where this theory comes from.
On our way to the temple we passed a huge street party (I'm guessing for entertainment during Easter). The people in Mombasa seem quite relaxed and happy, although the city itself is, as previously mentioned, quite run down.
We also saw one of the two main Hindu temples in Mombasa. We obviously had to take off our shoes to walk around inside. It was very colourful and had some gory depictions, though some were quite modern; for example, a guy being robbed with a gun and the consequences of this act in the afterlife. I found it rather amusing that a gun was used in the picture.
After the Hindu temple we went back to the hotel and managed to go for a swim and had some time to relax in the sun before an early start the next day for a 4 day safari!
