11 April: We crossed the border to Kenya after having to tip the officials as Sean only had one page as opposed to the two required for a Kenyan visa. Nairobi or Nairobbery as its affectionately known was busy and our hotel was lovely. We arranged dinner in the hotel later that night for the remaining group and me and Gordon spent the evening packing and repacking bags! Unfortunately HP couldn't make dinner as he got malaria. Great way to spend his two weeks off!! We had a nice evening though and we all retired early to our rooms with lovely showers and tvs!
12 April: Last day with the wonderful Gordon. After checking out (and finding Gordons bank card!) myself, Gordon, Mark and Becky took a city tour around Nairobi with a taxi driver from the hotel. While there aren't a lot of highlights of Kenya to see, we went to the viewing point and to the market and the area where the American embassy was bombed and 250 people died, and the torture rooms which were used up to 1994 and all the manic traffic in the city. Even though there are red lights, no one stops at them and they just drive straight through!! We got some lunch and then me, Gordon, Sarah and Mark made our way to the airport. The rest of them weren't flying until 11 as compared with my 7 o clock so they were very good to come so early. The only problem was that they were so early they actually weren't allowed into the airport and had to sit outside! Was sad saying goodbye but will hopefully see him soon. Flew to Kigali and got a taxi to the hostel where I settled for the night.
