174 lamu island
Today's special card has travelled all the way from Kenya.
Lamu Island is nestled along the coastline of Kenya, in the Indian Ocean. It has preserved its Swahili heritage and architecture for centuries. The island's old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and it boasts narrow alleyways, intricately carved wooden doors, and charming stone buildings that tell stories of its past.
Interestingly, one of this island's landmarks is a donkey sanctuary. Lamu has no motorised vehicles, so transportation and other heavy work is done with the help of donkeys. There are around 3000 of them on the island! The Sanctuary was opened in 1987 and it provides treatment to all donkeys free of charge.
I absolutely love the card and the stamps! Thank you Adam & Bartek!
