Rudolf . . .
So I had many a doses on the plane and really nice food, and landed a bit later than scheduled. I was urgh visas, but I got put to the front of a new queue and paid 20quid and it was done, no details were inputted but they have my info on the visa application so I assume they do it later.
I had a guy waiting with a sign of my name, I stood for ages just standing at the arrival walkway why about hundred guys held up names. I popped myself in the taxi, still in my trackies, two tops and a jacket, it was warm but not hot hot hot like I expected so that surprised me a lot. As I came out the airport I saw zebras mooching around looking for food.
Driving through nairobi centre, the closest I can describe it to is delhi, its a cleaner version but still very much the same in a lot of ways. Also way way smaller and way less hectic.
So after putting me bag in the dorm, I changed and decided to get meself sorted.
First stop was money, so I walked to the city centre and got that and had a walk round, got a drink, and as the city centre is so small, prob like newcastle, I got my bearings quickly. I went to the park and lay there for a while, returned back to the hostel to ask about a sarfari to amboseli, which lead to me going back to town to ask the tour companies I could find. Trying to tag onto a group but proving rather difficult.
So I got food and sat in the park and ate it before heading back, having a freezing cold shower by the light of my wind up torch and got changed.
By this time it was dark, and I met my roomie linn from norway. I ended up staying in the hostel bar with her, not feeling very sociable in the slightest and drinking cups of tea, eating bananas and a mouldy avocados. The detox begins, minus tea.
Many a times saying I should go to bed I finally got my arse in gear and had a terrible night sleep.
Oh yeah and as I wandered round rather covered up and just half functioning I have burnt my forehead and my nose. As I wore glasses all day my nose is just burnt on the end, I look ridiculous. Xx
