We were not impressed by the 5.30 wake up call this morning. The phone rang at least 6 times before someone bothered to pick it up!! But we got up, dressed and ready with our suitcases in time (earlier in fact!!). We took our suitcases downstairs to the reception area, then went for breakfast. The best and tastiest breakfast!! Apart from the wake-me-up sour pineapple and the dodgy mango juice, everything else tasted AMAZING!!!! I have never tasted such amazing ch...

Today is our official last day in Kenya. I woke up wayyyyy too early, so finished packing and chilled in my room until breakfast. After breakfast we found out that we can keep our rooms until 1 :) so we to changed, and I sunbathed, josh and theo played in the pool, and parents went for a romantic walk on the beach. We had lunch around 12.30, then cleared out our rooms and headed up to reception. The bus was waiting to take us straight to Malindi airport, so we ...

He and my dad met at primary/prep school, stayed in touch, then my dad spent his gap year out here in Kenya through Colin's parents!! We also found out that Colin knows someone from my dads work called Mike Bradley, Steve and Liz Aisthorpe, and was at sc...

Today was orientated around the African Market at 2. We woke up, breakfast at 9, sunbathed, chilled, went in the pool, and picked up our clothes from Becky - VERY impressed!! The sewing is exactly like Nepali sewing - white cotton thread for everything - but I am in love with my trousers!! My mum isn't impressed with her dress which, according to josh, looks like an apron. So when we get home, my mum is going to chop and change it so it actually is an apron!! Af...
