Well you nearly have me up to date...the 15th saw our arrival into Nairobi. We traveled within 40kms of Mount Kenya as we left our campsite so we took some sunrise shots of it as we passed, but without much else to note we arrived in Nairobi and did our grocery stop before hitting NPS - Nairobi Park Services Campsite (our home for the next 6 day...

Arrived in Kenya. Met the other 14 travellers, tour guide & driver - and of course, our truck - 'Stevie', who we travelled on for the next 21 days. No instances of 'Nairobbery, which was a great start to our trip.

Monday, November 15, 2004 leaving nairobi in a couple of hours. I was told that Kajiado has internet access but its expensive and slow so it seems that this is going to be one of the last entries. it was my last official night with my host family yesterday. We had some cake and I gave them their gifts. There were tears, hugs and lots of laughs. ...

This week was really packed. First, there is my reseach project...
