I can't believe it's already been 3 days in Africa! For Anne, Jette and I, this is our first time here. We are all enjoying it so much! We are very appreciative that mum and dad know what they are doing because otherwise we would never find our way back home and be surviving in the wild... This morning we embarked on an 'African' 2km hike through the Ngong Hills (which means they say it's 2km, but it's actually way more). We were not prepared for 3 hours of walking up very steep mountains. Our personal guide, Isaac, works at the resort and he was the best! He has a great sense of humour and was full of knowledge. While the five of us were sweating and panting like crazy, Isaac looked like he could run up the hill. But so do most African people. The whole three hours consisted of hill climbing. We must have looked like stupid tourists to all the people walking past because of our joggers, hats, sunglasses and backpacks while they were going up in thongs. Because the climb was so steep, there were a few points where Mum, Dad and Anne got a bit tired (old age) but they kept powering through until we got to a point with a beautiful view of the Rift Valley, where we had lunch. Anne got more and more tired along the way but didn't give up and we are all very proud of her! We stayed at our grassy lunch spot for almost two hours and had a great time chatting with Isaac. At one stage, Dad was looking through the binoculars and suddenly said "I see Giraffes!" Isaac had told us that there were a few around and we spotted about 3! We were so excited! After about 10 minutes Jette suddenly spotted about 30 more of them just hanging around in a paddock. We woke Anne up from her deep beauty sleep and all had a look through the binoculars. It was amazing! They were very far away but it was still so cool to see them with our own eyes! Time went by with us taking turns watching the Giraffes and just talking. Isaac has the best sense of humour and is very easy to talk to. He has a very contagious laugh! Where we were sitting on the mountains was about 2000m high and there were many people around us praying. This is because we were 'close to heaven'. On the walk, we came across a number of children who all asked for food. Isaac told us that they do this to everyone who comes past and I felt a bit better. Anne and I were talking to him about if he uses picki picki's to get around or if he walks and he said he only uses them if he's uncomfortable. When we asked, he told us that by uncomfortable he meant hungry or sore. This made me sad because he's such a happy person and doesn't deserve to be hungry or in pain at all. And this is the same for so many people. Once you get to know them, it makes it harder to know the struggle they go through and that you can't help everyone. We caught picki picki's back to the resort and it was super fun going down the bumpy dirt roads and bouncing everywhere! Tomorrow we depart for a few days and nights of visiting National Parks and doing game drives, trying to spot as many animals as we can! Therefore I will not be able to post any blogs but can't wait to share everything with you on either Tuesday or Wednesday!
