Day 3

Kissii me (not so) quick 

I woke up at 5.45am. Actually I woke up almost every hour but I GOT up at 5.45am. Had a shower. Dropped my towel in the toilet. Brilliant. 

Went down for breakfast and there was a cat there that I have cleverly named ‘Breakfast Cat.’ I don’t know why it fascinated me so much. It’s just a cat. We have plenty of them in England but this is an AFRICAN cat. Ok, not quite a lion but still. 

We boarded the truck (see pic) which had lockers at the back and of course I’ve not brought a padlock with me! Someone kindly lent me one. 

Our first stop was a view point looking over the Great Rift Valley, a 6000km long trench where the African techtonic plate is splitting into two. Geek here thought it was quite interesting. Apparently a lot of the trip will be spent in this valley. 

It’s kind of sweet that all the little kids wave at the bus on its way past. 

Then we saw some baboons just hanging out at the side of the road. 

Next up was lunch time. We had to help prepare and clean. Simple cheese and ham salad sandwiches were on the menu. After washing up some wafting of the crockery was required. The locals quite clearly thought we had lost our marbles. We also shared the site with some roaming cows. 

Still no bag. 

Would you Adam and Eve it, I’m sunburnt already. It’s only about 22 degrees. Oh genes of ginge. How you pain me. 

We made it to camp and it’s not a camp! It’s rooms! And my luggage is on its way! Tonight is a good night. 

Stay tuned for the next instalment of this tragicomedy.
