This is the gorgeous beach we went to on Sat which is about 45 minutes from our Chukwani neighborhood. The Indian Ocean is gorgeous, warm and a beautiful color of bright turquoise. While swimming, a woman by the nickname of 'Big Mama' came down to the waters edge in her bright peach dress to tell us that she did massage on the beach for $8.50 and hour. I was in. An hour later, I found myself under a little bungalow with her pouring fresh water over my feet to remove the sand. I laid on my front and was soon after in heaven. Her one hand basically covered my entire back and she could have man handled me easily if she had wanted to. Her nickname represented both her personality and stature. Midway through the massage she was getting pretty into it and my head was squashed under her bodice and tummy with her wide sweeping strokes. The cabana was filled with a mixture of smells ~ the salt water from the ocean, coconut oil from the massage and body odor which I have been getting mildly accustomed to with the locals. She proceeded to tell me that many tourists say she is too strong and that she goes softer now. And if that was her softer, I was glad I was there after those poor other tourists. Big Mama and I became fast friends and I will be back to visit every time we are there. The best massage experience to date.
wow. the color of the water is so bedazzling. i love this story and lucky for you to have an hr. massage, fuerte, from a real local lady right on the beach and at 8.50/hr. i might have to go there alot:):) Big Mama sounds like a person everyone loves to be around. try to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean, relax, no worries, mon. "nzuri sana" luv.mum.
