Jamboooo!
Well the last 24 hours have been exciting to say the least. With all meeting at Heathrow, travelling from different directions were finally all together! Team Kenya!
We are currently experiencing issues with picking up the wifi in the hotel and have had to resort to using the wifi at the teachers college, where we are based this morning! So blogs are expected to be uploaded at around lunch for the next couple of days!
Getting here wasn't all straight forward; with Kelly Morgan, leaving her passport in the pub just before boarding added the suspense to everyone's mixed emotions! But luckily that was quickly resorted! The journey was a little bumpy in places experiencing small stages of turbulence! Just what was needed when I ( Sammie smith) didn't feel all that good!
When arriving in Nairobi it was around 22 degrees so quite a climate change! Visas bought, luggage collected, we were greeted by Nicholas and our driver for our duration here, Paul. A two hour journey was made in just over an hour (standard African driving). With it being 8 o'clock it was dark the journey was quite a blur without being able to see what surrounded us!
Finally checked in to our hotel; single rooms were allocated and with luggage in rooms, this long day called for Tuskers (African beer), chapatis, and curried chips with local Africans & arsenal v man united on the tele!
Early rise today 7am wake up, 7:30 breakfast and out teaching for 8! Well I say 8 but we didn't end up arriving till around quarter past nine due to supermarket stops and the exchange of money at the local bank!
Quote of the day so far; "that's the great thing about CWB they have great team work and work together well" Nicholas (13th February).
Finally arriving at muranga's teachers college, we were greeted by an unexpected amount of teachers! Bets on the bus was it was going to be a minimal turn out but they proved us wrong! With the introductions over off we went to teach the fundamental skills for the first day of their training! So best get back to the field, missing the sun and some very competitive games of cricket! Over and out!
Sounds like a slightly epic trip so far! Good effort with the passport Kelly!
Enjoy yourselves and looking forward to more blogs and photos 🙂
