Well we’ve made it to Kenya. We’ve been staying in Nairobi at the Milimani Backpackers. Its very basic but is clean and has all you need, plus it’s very sociable and friendly! It’s been very hard to use the internet here. There is access it’s just so sloooooow, unbearably so.
So a lot has happened since SA and we’ll will update with all the antics from Willem & Melisas wedding when we can - there’s some great photos wiating to be uploaded. Sadly we were let down with our laptop delivery in Nairobi so we’ll have to wait until we get to Thailand where we hope to pick up a reasonably priced one.
We’ve just got back from a 4 day Safari in the Masai Mara and Lake Nakura. It was roughly a 5/6 hour journey from Nairobi in a Matatu. A Matatu incidently is exactly the same as the Chapas in Mozambique - we just can’t escape them! But this one was slightly modified for the safari with a roof that can open up so we can all stand up, stick our heads out and gawp at all the animals!
We saw Lions (some very naughty Lions!), Girafes, Elephants, Limpala, Gazeles, Jakals, Hyienas, Hippos, Crocodiles and much much more… I’ll finsh off another day as the internet cafe is about to close - just had to get an update in in between the Safari and our trip to Mombasa tomorrow. We’re taking the overnight train down, in a first class cabin. You get dinner and breakfast included and from the people we’ve met who’ve been on it, it’s supposed to be great!
Till next time, farewell.
Lionel and Sandra
