My last two weeks in Uganda went too quickly. One moment I was lying in my bed talking to Molly about how I had two weeks left and the next I was getting in a taxi whilst saying bye to her. To be honest I kept putting off packing because I knew if I did then it would turn very real the fact that I was leaving. Plus the thought of packing all my stuff into my bag made me feel very stressed out. The weekend before my last I went back to Jinja (again) to say g...

The last month has been some what of a roller coaster ride...

Off to MOMBASA! :) Please, once again excuse the awful spelling! Internet cafe! After we left Naivasha we travelled to Nairobi to book a night bus to Mombasa. Nairobi is a fasinating city - it is very well bilt up, it reminded me of a european city. However, on the other side it totally contrasts the tall, impressive buildings. There are mass slums, over flowing with poverty stricken people. It is a very sad sight and a reminder that even the richest of Ar...
