Hello and welcome to what is probably the penultimate in - Kenya blog. The first time I wrote this, I wrote at this point that it would be a fairly short one this week, but after writing for an hour the computers in the cybercafe cafe where I am now, all cocked up and restarted. This meant that I lost it all, so its now going to even swifter, as I am no longer in the perky, enthusiastic mood i was earlier, and I cannot be bothered to write the nice, long, detaile...
