Had a great flight back and I'm now back in the comfort of my own home. Got a stinking cold, and lots of very happy memories of such an amazing experience. I've been touched by the Kenyan's friendliness and positivity, especially when most struggle to provide for their families. I met a security guard today that lives away from his 6 and 5 yr old boys for 3-4 months at a time so he can put food in their mouths and give them an education. Things that we all take ...

Had a full last day in Kenya, visited the elephant orphanage in the morning, and saw the most adorable sight of baby elephants drinking from oversized bottles of milk. I want a baby elephant! We then went into Nairobi town, past the slums which just astonished me. I have never seen slums before, let alone that size. It's a stark reminder of the hardship in Kenya, even in a western looking city like Nairobi. We arrived at the faraja project. They are a very small...

Omg what a day! Transfer to Nakuru took 5 hrs in the end due to a diversion and taking 63 women to a shop! They expected us to only take 10 minutes to go shopping?!

Just when we were starting to see too much buffalo, t...

Up at 6:15 bags on the bus, breakfast done and time to watch Trish rescue Caths glasses from the bottom of the pool! It's 7:30 and it's hot already. We leave at 8 to transfer on the buses to Nakuru.

That's it I've done it!! Woke up this morning, feeling a lot better. I've even managed to keep a banana inside me! Apparently I had food poisoning, which was not the best thing to have when cycling, let alone when you're in Kenya far from hotel toilets! At the last water stop today, we had a crowd of locals gathering to see the sight of these women on bikes, and I started talking to a local elder. He welcomed us to his village and started telling me about all t...
