Bermuda Hotel Nairobi

... It sucked. I have seen enough Maasai people to last me a lifetime, espcially with the Frank incident! We got some pics though of their mud huts, and then walked back to the camp ground. <br> We had major time to kill before heading out for our campsite tonight, so we just kind of chilled, packed up our tents, and relaxed. It was nice. The weather has been cooperating as well which is a bonus! At about 3pm we were picked up by a safari company that brought us ...

... the docs think he has pneumonia. Den wasn't feeling well either, so she wanted to head home asap. Despite being sick, Kilonzi wanted us to stop at the Karen Police Department before we left to talk to Richard, a corporal there, about how Kenyan laws and law enforcement differs from Canadian. <br> We weren't at the police station very long, and took a short matatu ride back to Lenana where we chilled for about an hour before coming to Junction. Now, here is my ...

... bed. Their entire house is the size of our washroom. It is extreme poverty and the worst living conditions you can imagine. We took a matatu and then walked into Kibera. We quickly went to the clinic, and then Judi took us to meet with a bunch of people she knew. It was cool because we got to go into what these people call homes and see how they live. They were all extremely nice though, and seemed very happy to see us. <br><br> After Kibera we came home quickly, go the ...

... and I have returned - after what feels like years - to Scotland.<br>It has been an incredible couple of months and I so appreciate- now more than ever - my freedom to travel, to meet people and to gain more of an understanding of what is going on in the world.<br><br>Unfortunately I have returned to fairly predictable Scottish weather - I just wish I could send these unwanted rainclouds on a little journey to be appreciated in the dry lands where I have come from...<br>

... while sitting in his comfortable day nest in a nearby tree, pretending not to notice us. Moments later, a juvenile climbed a nearby tree to get a better look at us, and tumbled to the ground when the tree snapped in half with his weight. From here, our guide herded us around a tree, and we found ourselves within 6 meters of the group leader, a huge 200kg silverback male. Several small infants frolicked around him, and after a brief moment, he ...

... the city of Nairobi late this afternoon. Great to have a hot shower and then went out for dinner with the group. Managed to do some laundry by hand before we set off tomorrow for Tanzania. Our clothes are extremely dirty and dusty!<br>Enjoyed some last laughs over some Tuskers in the bar and then off to bed in a nice king size comfy bed. <br><br>

... on I visited the Nairobi National Museum, where apart from the oldest fossils ever excavated of our ancestors the most amusing part was seeing the thousands of school children that were brought in on trips to visit the museum. Each group in their individual school uniforms offering the most interesting harmony of colors. And there was the little boy who climbed up the stuffed zebra on display before the people at the museum could stop him &#8211; priceless ...

... television before Patrick asked if we were ready to go see the coffee. <br><br>We walked about fifteen minutes through his village, which was much more densely packed than Buswelu until we reached the extensive coffee grounds. The plantation was quite beautiful set on a hillside draining into a large lake. Worker housing and production buildings sat on the opposite hill. We walked into the lines of coffee tress while Patrick told us how much he hated picking coffee when ...

... that the boy&#8217;s breathing was labored- thick with mucus and symptomatic of a respiratory infection. Unfortunately, Andrew had to leave to go to a meeting, but he encouraged the mother to not give up on her baby and told her about Jamii Bora; a microfinance company that helps people get back on their feet by loaning them money to start a business. He gave the mother free care for her son, and assured her he would pay for the enrollment fee for Jamii ...
