Flamingo Camp and Cottages Safari Nairobi

... the final NZ v Pakistan cricket match. An incredible match with some young 17 year old Pakistani making a world record for the highest score for a number 10 batsman. It went right down to the last over and Helen was very nervous but NZ did it in the end – good on you kiwis!

Once again we ate at the camp and were served up a great meal. We could get used to this place! The only negative is that despite managing to avoid any mosquito bites for the last 2 weeks ...

We had head about a place called Junction from some fellow travelers and were given a GPS way point. The funny thing about a way point without any additional info is that we ended up driving around the back streets of Nairobi trying to work out just which street took us closer than 100mtrs to the waypoints given.

Alas it was found, i (Harry) noticed a painted white ...

... and Patrick. We decided since it was a Saturday, and since we are not allowed out of the house, we would get a little wild and watch Apollo 13! haha I could have sworn they died in that movie... must have been a little confused with Armageddon. RIP Bruce Willis.

Today has been pretty uneventful.. It is Sunday, meaning chruch ALL DAY LONG for those in our community. Since we are sinners, we come to Junction ...

Hi guys....



Well my blog writing track record has been terrible and its probably
going to get worse as here in Nairobi I have little internet access -
oh no!



Well our last few weeks in India were super cool and super chilled out which
included discovering Kerala and getting lost in the national parks and
plantations, seeing Goa and having our holiday within a holiday (we
swam in the sea everyday and vibed with some cool whities), and ...

... departures were marked with a meal at Carnivore, a famous Nairobi institution once voted in the top 50 restaurants in the world, albeit back in the days when they were allowed to serve game meat such as kudu, waterbuck, warthog and the like. The most exotic thing on the menu was ostrich, but the beef, lamb and pork was ...

... so sad and so very much the way the world is now. As always we will not let these events stop us travelling yet we are aware of the risks in places and will not travel to obvious hot spots. Finally the blog was done and we were so relieved the downtime in Nairobi let me complete the way overdue blog.

It took us about 4 hours to load up all the latest blogs on a dial up network.

We head off for 7 weeks now so will most likely not update until Cape Town.

More then :)

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am home, safe and sound! After 37 hours of travel, here I am! A big "thank you" to everyone for following along. I hope my words gave you all a good picture of our experiences. I am so glad I went, and learned valuable knowledge about nursing, the world, and those who live in it,sometimes forgotten in our busy lives. It was ...

... being said either by Oliver or someone else. Not sure what happened as I went to bed and nothing was mentioned thereafter. I really can't be bothered anymore. With so few days left I know who my friends are and don't want to waste time dealing with idiots I know I'll never see again once this trip is finished. Whilst everyone else had to head into town to get Ethiopian VISAs we stayed around the campsite enjoying a full English ...

... good news, I will have a phone number by the time I leave Nairobi and probably internet access at home!!! YEAH!! Will keep you all posted! Sorry to everyone who I did not call back on Saturday before leaving. It was a crazy day and experience at the airport. Thank Rene and Jen!!! I owe you both! I will get that blog up once I get to Kitui and figure out the internet connection! Much love and hugs, Trixie
