... an hour later. Its only a short 5 minute trip across the river but the security guys insisted that everyone on the bus had to get off and walk on. Our bus conductor argued angrily and we heard the word 'Mzungu' thrown in there a few times. Mzungu is the Swahili word for white person. After our bus conductor lost the argument he got on and ordered us all off, there were quite a few angry stares in our direction as we all filed off the bus. We finally got across the river ...

... get the hell out of there! So reckon it's a time for some more fun............ By the way; the pictures are never in any order; I have to finish typing my blog and then I download 5 pictures (never anymore that's my limit for each entry); Travelblog then spins the photos around and weaves them into my entry randomely; so one minute I'm telling you some poor fella got his leg chopped off and you are looking at a picture of me falling off a camel ...

... I'm meeting many local people; from the local vet who came today to castrate the two young house cats; Oh that is an interesting story and here's a picture of me holding down one of them whilst he had his balls removed; this is Mickey and the other fellow is his brother Toto - you'll be pleased to know the operation was simple (took place on the dining room table that guests use to eat breakfast), painless and both cats were up and running within ...

... their whale shark tagging expeditions. Note that while whale sharks are not easy to find from a boat... they had an airplane flying around spotting for them.... Which would make them hard to miss. We were hesitant as it was a lot of money... so we waited to see if the group the day before we wanted to go got to see any sharks... we got a text from the lady late in the afternoon "saw three whale sharks today, we now know where they hang out" This was good enough for us ...

... relaxing few days in Tiwi. There's nothing there! well, except a beautiful beach and so we spent some days swimming, snorkelling and relaxing on the beach, eating fish and coconuts...oh and a couple of drinks with our new friends! Our room was rather hot so we moved the bed out on to the balcony and slept under the stars with the sound of the sea...

... studies coincided with the 9/11 tragedy. I was completely freaked out after I was awoken by machine-gun fire. I was having another nightmare, this one ending in gunfire. It was subliminal, as the gunfire was actually MHM's ring tone on his phone! Anyhow, MHM turned out to be a gentleman of note, offering to show me around Mombassa and organizing us a taxi. I say us, because a frantic America lady had attached herself to me at the border, asking ...

... pimian jalkeen yksin seikkailla... Darista keikuttiin lautalla Zanzibariin. Ma rakastuin ensi silmayksella. Taksilla kun satamasta mentiin Stown townin lapi aloin budjetoimaan paljonko rahaa tarttisin jos sinne muuttaisin. Kulttuurien sekamelsa, kaikki on vaan niin tavattoman kaunista. Sokkeloisia katuja varittaa ihmiset, hunnut, hedelmat ja vihannekset, kasityot... Maailman kauneimpien ihmisten koti. Eksyminen siella on kivaa. Kannattaa kokeilla! Vietettiin ...

... and my salvation. Of whom shall I be ...?" You know how it goes. The rest of my time in Likoni was nice with lots of ital fruits and fried fish. There was even fried shrimp at the ferry for 20 shillings per handfull. I went to the Kenyan Airways office to move my flight to Nairobi sooner, which they did for free. I was anticipating going to Meru to visit Margaret's home, where she wants to set up a school of sustainable agriculture and nutrition, as well as a guesthouse for visitors.

... werken, <br> ik heb echt bewondering voor iedereen die dat doet. <br><br> <br><br> We werden rondgeleid door de keuken (zag er wel schoon uit, maar erg primitief, <br> koken op vuur, geen koelkast) en de klaslokaaltjes en de slaapzalen. De <br> douches waren nog niet klaar. Tot nu toe worden de kinderen met emmers <br> water gewassen, maar zo te ruiken niet al te vaak. <br><br> Degene wier project het was (een hele aardige Nederlandse ...
