It Couldn't Be That Easy...

SOUTH AFRICA | Saturday, 10 Jan 2009 | Views [469]

I'm finally back in Australia, have just flown into Sydney, but this journal is coming from how I was feeling in South Africa seeing as I couldn't find any internet access when I was there!  Yes, I flew through South Africa and not Bangkok!  Funny how ... Read more >


Goodbye Kenya!

KENYA | Thursday, 8 Jan 2009 | Views [514] | Comments [2]

Here I am on my last day in Kenya, I can’t believe I’m flying out tonight. The safari was absolutely incredible, I had a ball with the boys, and the scenery there is just amazing. It really touched my heart to see the animals in their natural environment ... Read more >

Christmas in Kenya!

KENYA | Wednesday, 24 Dec 2008 | Views [475] | Comments [6]

Christmas is almost here!   And who would know it!   When you don’t have Christmas shopping to do and don’t see decorations everywhere, it tends to creep up on you a bit!!!   I think I mentioned last time, we’re in Kisumu today and tonight, and then ... Read more >

One thing I forgot to mention yesterday, Grant (the last guy in our group) finally arrived into Nairobi on Monday morning from Bangkok, except his bags didn't arrive with him, so we now have both Grant and Daniel without their bags, including without ... Read more >


Kisumu, Day 2 (and a half)

KENYA | Thursday, 4 Dec 2008 | Views [501] | Comments [4]

We've been in Kisumu now for a couple of days, and again, the word of the day is still 'confronting'. Yesterday we had a guide take us for a walk around the city, right through the bus mall (which is nothing like a bus mall) and through some of the markets ... Read more >

Our last night in Nairobi was long, we went out for dinner with two close friends of Adams but I was so tired so didn't enjoy it as much as everyone else - it was a big place with live music and dancers, and boy can these Africans shake it and thrust ... Read more >

First stop....Sydney!

AUSTRALIA | Friday, 28 Nov 2008 | Views [284]

Yahoo I've made it to the international terminal at Sydney airport! My pack is about twenty million times heavier than I thought it was, and it was absolutely killing my neck and back, so I checked it into storage for 2 hours! Clever me! I feel slightly ... Read more >
