Met the other 5 that were doing the masi mara bolt on to the safari (alex, burkie, ray-ray, lucy, & heather). Straight away had a connection with one of the girls (burkie), knew 2 of her brothers and her mum plays tennis with my aunty, nz is such a small world. Then we took off at 9am, first stop the giraffe park. Got to feed the giraffes, but past on the opportunity for a giraffee kiss (put a pellet in your lips and the giraffee eats it from there). And lea...

After a 2hour stop over in Cairo ariport, we arrived in Nairobri at 4am in the morning. Met Alex (physio student from the UK) on the taxi to the hotel who was going to be on the same Safari with us. Luckily we were able to check into our rooms so had a shower and went to bed.

Have already enjoyed a few german sausages and big beers but hope to get all our stuff sorted and spend the afternoon re...

Found a good park bench in the playground for cooking dinner and managed to finish eating before the e...

Arrived to pooring rain in Innsbruck after trying to escape it in italy, so made our way on public buses to our camp ground on the outskirts of town for some shelter. Meet a couple from Holland cooking dinner under a sheltered area in the camp ground. As we were low on food and the supermarkets were closed for the day they generously offered us some of their sausages, which we accepted and added to our pasta mix, pretty much saved the day there. Next day the we...
