Arrival

Yesterday we arrived in Kenya. Our trip went pretty smooth. We left on Monday by train. From Eindhoven to Düsseldorf. We spent the night in Düsseldorf (had good kebab) and went to the Düsseldorf airport at 5 a.m. From there we flew to London Heathrow and from there to Nairobi International airport. The trip was okay, but pretty long. Especially considering our time of getting up (4 a.m.) and all the waiting, travelling and not being able to sleep in an airplane.
Now I’m sitting in our hotel room being sick. I was already sick when we entered Kenya, so I did not get it in Kenya I think. It’s not very bad, just a headache and an upset stomach. Nynke is out with some Americans/Canadians exploring Nairobi. I thought since I not feeling well, I just write on our blog.
Our hotel room is pretty big. Birds chirping outside, free wifi Internet, short bed and a temperature of about 25 oC. Lovely. When we got to the aiport, someone was waiting for us, and he (Samuel) got us to the Mayfield Guest House. We found a note there saying that after a nights sleep we would do a lot of practical stuff (meet the staff, do shopping etc.). We didn’t expect that so soon. But since I’m sick, we’ll do that tomorrow. On Friday we will leave for Kijabe, which is about 5 quarters of an hour drive from Nairobi. In the weekend we’ll adjust and on Monday we’ll start working. That’s faster then we expected it, but oh well….

We hope everyone is missing us already, but probably not. Just remember, we’ll be back in 5 months. It’s not that long. On the plane Nynke sometimes thought: “what am I doing?” But I think when we will be in Kijabe, we’ll love it.

So that’s it for today. We hope to write something new very soon.
Kwaheri!
