Its now day three but I'll start at ay one...

JAMBO! (hello)
Day 1.
Well, I've discovered I hate flying, having only ever flown to sydney, and 24hours on planes/in airports was tourture!
We arrived, only to discover sally's bag is missing! we waited at the airport for hours, but had to leave with out it. As soon as we were on the bus to the christian brothers' bungalow from the airport, amazing! we saw not one but many giraffes, in this field with a huge fence, they are beautiful creatures.
Having never left aus before I found everything SO different... There are people with coke stands and stalls everywhere trying to dell stuff, lots of friut. And strange to me there were just random cows and goats on the side of the road....
The roads are all unfinished and very bumpy.
We arrived at our amazing bungalow and went for a walk to buy credit and discover the naighbourhood. Dinner was amazing! The food is beautiful! lots of meat. x Cheryl

Day 2.
Very rested day, we had great conversations about the things that go through your mind when you come to another country and immerse yourself in such different culture. We then met our guides, Christine, Samuel, Denise, Francesca, Agnes, Patrick and Duncan as well as our lovely valentine who came to visit us earlier this year, all are community members who are leaders and some who organise camps and activities for eddie rice. We all got some very intense swahili lessons.
More great food and lots and lots of fun get-to-know-you games, we laughed for hours!!! These people are amazing fun!
We have still not heard much about poor sally's bag and the girls are all lending clothes and setting up a beauty salon for a little therapy. So excited to be here. x Cheryl

Day 3.
Nairobi> our guides take us into the city for a little tour and lunch. Beautiful surroundings, lots of monument, a few history lessons, as well as some very vital lessons on how to cross the street! Lots of people, stalls, smells and car horns. We went to a roof top restaurant where we ate with our hands for the first time, ugali, fried fish (like literally a whole fried fish, head and all!), fried chicken, chapata (like naan bread) and coconut fish with passion juice all amazingly good!! Then more to see in Nairobi, The open sky market were my fav! busy, so much stalls! people everywhere! We are heading to Tanzania in the morning for camp, am very excited and also a little tired so going home to rest. x Cheryl
