Cassablanca Lodge Moshi

... able to keep all of our belongings here. Every few days we'd head out on safari and would only pack an over night bag containing what we needed for just the night...it really saved us a lot of time and energy not having to pack and unpack and hull 3 weeks worth of things around with us. Rates were $15-$60 per night. This is definitely a nice find for back packers as it is affordable ...

... of sleeping on one side till your hip starts hurting then switch to the other side and then on to your back and you start over. Not the most restive sleep.<br><br>We were the last group to leave the camp site which was frustrating as the next camp site we would get whatever was left of the spots to put our tent. Right away when hiking the landscape was different being more arid with shorter trees which resembled cactuses and reminded me a little of an Arizona ...

... body odour aboard Kenya Airways the previous night. Breakfast was good and the three of us decided that a trip into Moshi to procure some supplies would be a smart idea. Moshi proved to be a quiet dusty little town without a huge amount of character and exorbitant prices for M&amp;Ms and insect repellent. We only stayed an hour or two. The most interesting part of the day was the bus ride aboard Toyota Hiace vans into and back from town. The journey was about forty-five minutes but we ...

... new husband in a second marriage refused to support the previous marriage's children, or for one of many other reasons. The home gave them a place of stability, fed them well, educated them and generally looked after them. The impressive part for me was the 'after care' once the child was 'reunified' with the family, regular checkups to ensure the original problems didn't return.<br><br>It's the done thing for a ...

... I was not prepared for it. 30 km down the road the asphalt ran out and we were on the bumpy, dusty roads. There was so much dust, that you could barely breathe. I had a reserved seat at the front of the bus, but very soon it became clear that in Africa this is not of particular importance. I gave up any attempts to reason with the bus attendant and found the only window spot at the last seat. This makes it for a very bumpy ride ...

... sister gives him an injection of hydrocortisone , double the normal dose...I still have no ****ing clue as to why she did this...still no O2 and he is unresponsive and cyanotic...surprise surprise I can't find a pulse anymore...I start to begin CPR, while a room of 30 Africans ( patients and family ) look on, I gave up shouting for help 30 minutes ago, after about 3 minutes nurse dumbas**** comes back into the room with the ambi-bag I had asked for almost an hour ago "no no no...I do I ...

... awkward at many times but Kenyans do not understand the word &#8220;awkward.&#8221; If you would like to understand more just ask me. Either I was in class or being stared at while at home but during travels I would always be swarmed by children saying &#8220;how are you?&#8221; I swear it is the first English words they are taught by their parents (or the first words that come out of their mouths). I could be on a hike and hear &#8220;how are you?&#8221; but not be able to locate where ...

... works. I feel so tiny, so small, so insignificant. There are so many negative things in this world, it is really easy to get bogged down focusing on the 'bad'. But there is a silver lining.... I grew as a person, I challenged myself, I pushed myself out of my comfort zone (planning fundraisers isn't excatly my strongest suit) and I managed to bring some hope to a small community on the outskirts of a developing town in ...

... We set off at quite a fast pace but I soon began to struggle with the altitude and it all being uphill. We didn't stop for many breaks and towards the end of the walk I was exhausted and really needed something to eat. We eventually could see Kibo in the distance, but it was another 2 hours before we reached it - so frustrating! We arrived in Camp at 12:30 after leaving at 8 - the walk only took 4 and a half hours, which even though I felt like I was walking really slowly, was ...

... girls, apparently the only other male, aside from Loui, is a 72 year old naturopath from France who is leaving the day after tomorrow...how do you say put down the seat in Finnish?!?.... Exhausted I am greeted by a bunch of giggling finns, Half of which speak little to no english....I however decide to straight for the dinner table, I am famished and begin to tuck into a big plate of Ugali ( african beans ) give a polite nod to ...
