Day 7

I went to the Gedi ruins(27). From the thirteenth to seventeenth centuries Gedi was a thriving but it's very hidden. They lived the coast between Malindi and Mombasa. The inhabitants traded with people from many other regions such as China, Venice, and India. However, there are no records about these Gedi people. I thought that's really weird. Also, this place wasn't revealed until 1920s. Monkeys were running around the ruined walls. All the surrounding environments were making the Gedi ruins even better. The Gedi ruins was my favorite place so far in this journey. It was well preserved and had unique and stylish design.
