I am currently sitting in hotel room in Kenya after 22 hours of plane flights, and awaiting another at 7 o'clock in the morning. We leave the hotel at 5:30 am. At the moment, Sam is having his first shower since Thursday night (don't even ask), while I type this by a window overlooking a game park. At the hotel, they checked for bombs under the car, X-rayed our luggage, and sent us through a metal detector. This was the first time I've ever had to do this upon entering a hotel.

Our flight from Auckland to Sydeny was non-eventful, although the seats infront of us were taken up by noisy Americans who didn't know how the work the screen display. Turns out they thought it was touch screen. I think that they must have been a musical group, because they all had instruments with them, and from what I could tell, mostly brass ones. Dave and Rob met us in Sydeny, and we had a couple of hours in their Elizabeth Bay apartment while they packed. We went to Billy Kwong for dinner, and had a delicious meal where we just ordered a whole heap of entrees and some cantonese fried rice.

The flight from Sydeny to Abu Dhabi was long, but I managed to get some sleep, which was great. We spent an hour or two in the lounge at Abu Dhabi Airport, and then we caught our next plane to Kenya. The man behind us snored the whole flight, but I did manage to get another hour or so of sleep.

Sorry there is no photos yet guys, but the inside of planes aren't the best subject matter. Sam might find some to put on his post, though.
