So we arrived in Bangkok after a very emotional journey. "What are we doing?" We eventually found each other in arrivals where Carly had found herself a new Dutch friend called Robin who persuaded us to take the sky train into Bangkok rather than our original plan of getting a taxi. This turned out to save us about 400bht. Nice work Carly! After a few hours sleep (BAD) idea, we ventured into Bangkok in search of food. A short walk, and a lively street market late...

A 4 hour bus journey to Tanga then a 2 hour journey to Pangani filled with the most interesting people- I must say I have never been cramped into a bus so filled with bags, objects, shopping and people. Fasinating to watch everytime the bus pulled into a stop the amount of food pushed up to the windows for sale... I must admit with the smells of all of the amazing samosas, I was rethinking my decision to be vegetarian... Our first glimpse of the sea looked like ...

Another 6 hour journey today but it was on public transport so it was rather cramped. Well worth it for all of the amazing sights. Who knew Africa could be so lush! When we arrived in the village it was very hot and there was a rush to get all of our luggage before it moved on... Once we arrived at the school to find that there as it was a national census, school had been closed to pupils while we were there. Quite a disappointment! There would be some childre...

We were picked up today by Methley and the Safari team ready for our 4 hour journey towards Arusha and the Ngorangora Crater.

We also saw so many young boys walking along the road with their faces covered in white paint and black markings. Our guide told us that they were part of a celebration where the boys have to tr...

Last night we stayed in a Hostel in Nairobi- I cant tell you how amazing it felt to sleep in a bed, although after all of the stories I've heard about Nairobi I think my nerves enjoyed sleeping in the middle of the masai mara with only a tent for protection more! Today we crossed the border into Tanzania which took 8 hours by bus. The border was chaotic- I'm afraid to say we all had to get rather bolshy just to keep our place in the queue! Once in Tanzania I was...
