We are in Nairobi right now, and tonight we take the train to Mombasa. YEAH TRAIN!!! I am so excited about it.
We got on the bus to Nairobi at 8 am yesterday, and arrived here at 6:30 pm. It's just under 400 km. It was a horrible time, especially as the roads here are so bad. As in, a lot of the time cars drive on the scrub next to the road, since it's less potholed.
I'm not sure when we'll get back online, as we'll be in Mombasa for two days, then we'll fly to Dar es Salaam, stay there for a couple days, ferry to Zanzibar, stay in Stone Town for two days, then up north on the beaches for a couple days, then ferry back to Dar. We will then bus to Arushu on the border, spend a day there, then travel to Nairobi, sight seeing here until our plane leaves on the 15th.
Or something like that. You know what they say about the best laid plans.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!
Lots of love,
Courtney
