Faas-Track Travel

Well today was our very last day in Kenya and all of East Africa.  Our African adventure has come to an end, that is sad, however we did have some fun experiences on our last day.  We got up relatively early in the dungeon rooms at Wildebeest Eco Camp and packed up our stuff so …

  All right, now to continue our time in Kibera. After our stop at the school Rick took us for a while through some more of Kibera until we reached his father’s house.  This was also the “house” where he first stayed with his brother and father when they moved to Kibera years ago.  It …

Well today is the day Lindsay has been waiting for almost the entire trip.  I gave her the guide book back in the summer sometime and told her to read through it and mark anything that interested her that she wanted to do.  True to her quirkiness she picked only one thing different than I …

Today was our very last day of transit on our East African trip. It was a happy and sad moment all at the same time.  We were happy that we would only see one more public transit option, but sad because they are always interesting, if not painful, days. We took our time waking up …

As I lay there resting at the door of the tent I heard a commotion.  It sounded like a very small and excited squirrel running past me on the road through camp.  It turned out to be a very small and excited little boy instead.  He was maybe 3 years old, with a mop of …

  Bright and early, which is now normal, Lindsay and I roused ourselves from sleep.  It was not so difficult as it is cold and uncomfortable here.  Today we were off to Hells Gate National Park for our self guided bicycle safari and we were excited about it.  We got dressed, packed the day bag, …

This morning we awoke in our very chilly tent at Fisherman’s camp.  We had decided today was going to be a nice lazy day to gain our energy back and just have some time relaxing as it was needed once again.  We started off having a leisurely breakfast in the restaurant and watching the sun …

  Once again we are on a travel day, however, today is our final big bus travel day and we are extremely excited to not have to take a day long trip on a bus again.  So we woke ourselves up this morning just before 5 am.  We were the only souls, animals included, awake …

On to the rest of rafting day… A quick snack of pineapple and biscuits was had by all while floating down through the flat section and it was a nice time until the river boat came by.  Nile River Explorers also runs a jet boat tour of part of the river.  Well, the driver finds …

Waaa-hooo!  Today was white water rafting on the Nile river, only second time I’ve been rafting in white water and Lindsay’s first time!  This morning started like all mornings in Africa, up bright, this time not  so bright out, and early.  We packed up our now dry clothes, yay, the fan did its job all …
