I know that I have done a huge jump here from the initial itinerary all the way to coming home. The weeks leading up to the trip were absolutely crazy between school ending, packing and preparing for the trip and doing fun stuff for my brothers wedding. By the time June 28th came and we were leaving I was ready for some time off and time to relax.
In Africa I had very little access and even less time to be on a computer so I kept a written journal although I am very far behind in that right now…. Our days were so packed that at the end of them I just wanted to curl up and go to sleep! As time goes on I will update the different days on here until the whole trip has been posted. It was an amazing experience and one with multiple personalities disorder. We started with the hike which was lovely and outdoorsy and adventurous. Then we headed to rural Maua to live like Kenyans. Then we found the hot tourist locations in Nairobi. Finally we headed to Mombasa and sat on Tiwi Beach which is a beautiful white sand beach bordering the Indian Ocean. Each part was something different and something wonderful. Throughout the trip I think we took every kind of transportation possible! Having the boyfriends sister as our tour guide was something that gave us a real experience and not just a tourist point of view. At some point over the past two weeks I fell in love with the country and the continent… being there just changes you a little bit.
My jet lagged body is exhausted so it is time for bed…I stayed up until 11.31 pm! Go me! (In Kenya that would be 7 am tomorrow…I heart time changes…)
