A slight change of plans.
August 1, 2009
After going on safari (see below) and meeting heaps of amazing fellow travelers I got itchy feet. Dan, the British guy I shared a tent with, told me about his journey from London through Ibitha, Egypt, Morocco and Ethiopia to Kenya. This was only the beginning. He planned to travel next to Tanzania, with a side trip to Zanzibar, then Lake Malawi, Zambia, Namibia and South Africa with his final destination being Cape Town. We hit it off as friends and I decided to join him.
So, on Monday I leave for Mombasa, a large coastal city of Kenya, on the overnight train to meet up with Dan once more where from we’ll be catching a bus to Dar es Salaam, the largest city of Tanzania. After that, timetables, destinations and modes of transport are still in planning. Dan has an air ticket back to London on around the 25th of September so as long as we’re in Cape Town by then getting there will be an adventure. Once we reach Cape Town I’ll fly back to Kenya and return to my home in the small village of Mang’u, back to teaching at the polytechnic and back to hanging out with the awesome kids of Familia Moja.
In the mean time I’m looking forward to experiencing more of Africa than I first anticipated and looking forward to meeting other fellow travelers along the way. Updates are bound to be even more irregular than they are already but stay tuned, an adventure like this is bound to provide a story or two!
