Our fourth and final night in Kenya, spent in a proper hotel bed. Not one that you sink in and have to build momentum to climb out of. Although the noice from the AC and Annie during the night made me feel as though I was back out in the bush. I’m not sure what sort of dreams she was having but the noises coming out of her were strange and she goes on at me letting off air, she let off her fair share of bad smelling air during the night. Woke up around 7am, we...

We thought we would have a bit of a lie in this morning considering we had cancelled the additional activities, Ken wasn’t having any of it. Another 7am pick up outside the hotel and of course he’s on time or arriving early. We checked out, they tried to scam us with the exchange rate, almost double it would have been if we had paid what they wanted, bring the manager in (we were ready for some Chinese arguments) of course the receptionist called them and th...

The morning of the first day of the Thirties Chapter. HOLY CRAP! Well Jemma, made it special for me bless her! She blew up a load of balloons in her little bedroom, brought coffee walnut cake with her in her bag all the way from Dubai and we had champagne for breakfast at 7AM! What a fab way to start .. as I mean to go on! Face time calls and holding back the emotional tears along with opening cards and presents. I had a Friends t-shirt from Jem 'the one where Be...
