Time: 11:05
Place: Nairobi, Kenya
Feeling: Angry at this keyboard that only writes words down 5 seconds after i type them. Otherwise chilled



Heres a picture that Sj made plotting our trip as far as Zanzibar. We will be a little further up by now but it gives a good idea of how far we've gone, and how far we are away from home. But so far Nairobi of all places is where i feel most like i'm in South Africa, and its not as terrible as everyone makes out to be. I suppose we haven't been out in the city at night, maybe my opinions would change then, but for the moment i really like it. Tonight we get onto a train for Mombasa then head up to the Lamu Archipelago. And it my dates are right we'll be there for a full moon party (there seem to be these in all touristy island places so i assume there will be one). And this is pretty much the end of driving in Stanley which is bittersweet. Nice to be sort of free and not to have the car to worry about, but also its going to mean a lot more planning and time on suicidal busses and stuff. Also the car has begun to stink thanks to some broken beers in the back, as well as garlic salt which came out of the bottle. Thats all for now, going to get a visa.

JESUS CHRIST you guys are far away which is awesome!

I got a little challenge for you guys to do which would probably be easier if you still have Stanley but if you don't it just makes it harder. I challenge you guys to car surf... (stand on the roof while someone drives) if you fall off its double points!

Hi Guys,
You have done well so far and seem to have had a really wonderful time. I don't know how you could be bored in some places but I am sure that will all come to an end now with publc transport. Should prove to be very challenging and interesting. Jared what were you dreaming about with all those bananas in your arms. Bit suspect. David is also having a wonderful time in Brazil and says hi. Travel safe. Michele
