Well....You will be pleased to know that we are finally doing some updating of this ourself and thus have reached some kind of civilisation! We apologise for not having put any photos up since ...er...Egypt, but the internet has been rubbish and this website is now a tecnicolour nightmare to update.Anyway much has happened. We have made it through the gauntlet between Moyale (Kenya border) and Marsabit without seeing a bandit or in fact anyone except a giant tortoise that we nearly ran over. It was so big we couldn't pick it up and must have been well over 100 years old (photos to follow soon hopefully).We have now visited our first Tusk Project in Lewa conservancy. We went in looking like we had put on huge amounts of fake tan due to the thick layers of orange dust that had acumulated on us and the car since the border, but were soon treated to our first hot shower since Egypt (except the unintentionally hot shower in Sudan after the water in the jerry cans heated up so much we couldn't stand under the shower) and once again felt like humans!Lewa was great but unfortunately they were short staffed and had two film crews in the grounds so we were down their list of priorities. That said we we did get to see the Rhinos being fed at 6pm and had 2 reasonable game drives around the beautiful landscape in the shadow of Mt Kenya.We are now apart for the first time since leaving London on 2nd August (yes it was emotional) as I (Alastair) am in Nairobi about to go and meet my skiving girlfriend who is joining me for a week. We are presently based at the idyllic (sorry my spelling in this postcard is appalling) Longonot Ranch courtesy of MacHale friends the Churches. We got there via a route that not even the Kenyan Oracle Tony Church knew existed and included driving through a field with no tracks but only cows and being let through an electric fence by a man that said, 'you cannot use this road it is too bad'. Having winded our way for 2 hours from the nearest town to find it we eventually got him to let us through only to discover it was 'too bad'...well almost. We made it up a mountain slope that resembled a dry stream bed more than a road with the help of the OME springs, diff lock, low ratio and many prayers and convulsions. We did this only to arrive at an Abadere Park gate with a surprised warden who charged us $40 for the privelage of driving the next 10km through the park.Anyway we eventually made it, I am off on Safari with Kate tomorrow and Henry is going for a service with Geoffrey (the car). Assuming the Churches, who are being most generous, don't kick us out, we will be with them until Friday 13th when we will head South.I have to go now otherwise I will be late for meeting my long suffering girlfriend, but sorry for the delay in updates and we will get some photos up very soon.Warm salutationsAlastair and Henry
