Hi family and friends!
Our flights were sooo long. (but not as long as asia!!) I usually watch a billion movies back to back, but I didn't this time I slept most of the time(other than when they fed me icky airplane food).
GUESS WHAT? When flying out of Switzerland, we could see the tips of the Swiss alps protruding from the clouds below us- I took photos from the plane! it was SO cool. Matt and I were just staring at them amazed. So large and beautiful . !!!
So we are now in Nairobi at a place called "Bush house and Camp". we thought it was close to the city where we need to meet people tomorrow, but actually it turns out it's like 35 km away!!1 hahaha DOH! but we are out in the woods almost, and that is entirely different and great. It's quiet and the air is so clear. The roads are dirt and the people are friendly. In order to save on cabs we actually took the public bus into the city today which was an adventure. crowded and busy and bumpy to say the least.
We walked around town all day, eating random things and getting money organized and then at 6pm we met up with our tour group. they seem like a cool group. There are gonig to be about 18 people +/- . We only met about 11 so far, we will meet up with/lose others as the trip goes on. We are on the longest possible route!!!
Tomorrow we have to be somewhere by 6am (no early morning workout/run!) and then we will start our camping trip for real. SO EXCITING!
It looks like we are going to be dropping like, $500 more than we expected.. but hey, we're in africa. We just HAVE to do these things!!!!
Anyways. We are safe and sound and giddy as can be.
Missing lots of special people <3
