25/10: To Kenya

The children woke us up in the morning, but as I had to leave at 12 it didn’t matter. We ate breakfast and I finished my packing before we saw another movie. It was almost over when the taxi driver came. I thought it would be someone else, by the name of Mshana, but it was Ndessa, another driver I don’t know. Out of four drivers it has to be one of the two I don’t know. I then said goodbye to Laura and the family. Grace’s parting words were: “I hope you enjoy Kenya more than Tanzania.” I am not sure that was her exact words, but words to that effect. Laura and I looked at each other and I could see that we were both thinking: “what?!” I know the first three-four weeks weren’t the best I ever had. But after that I really enjoyed myself, though I never particularly did that in her company of course. We reached the airport an hour later. I then checked in, went through passport control and baggage control after they had called my flight. Then I just sat waiting for my flight, it came and suddenly I was in Nairobi. It was no problem getting the visa and getting my bags, but when I got out I couldn’t find anyone from Project Abroad. In the end I found her, she was just hiding far away with a little sign. Then we went to a guest house as there was another volunteer coming later. We will go to Nakuru together tomorrow.
