sorry Kisumu, all is forgiven
Finally found the lake hard to miss it really). It was worth the trek to get there (I'm not the most geographically minded of people). It's all big and wet and shiny like a lake should be. I've got my route all planned out for the next week or so. On monday I'm starting to head towards the coast-avoiding Rwanda. I'll pass through Nairobi and then to Mombassa where the main attraction-for me anyway-is a Fort Jesus. Yey 'tis a good sign. Then I'll be crossing into Tanzania and to a place called Lushoto (at least I think that's how it's spelt, don't have my guidebook on me right now) where I'll be camping in the mountains. Hoorah.
I'm planning to stay there at least a week, maybe even more if it's as good as my guide book makes it look. Then I head for Dar Es Salaam and more camping, this time right on the beach. A week or so of swimming, chilling and trying to find a restuarant that serves shark-just to see if Sarah delivers the goods on her promise of never speaking to me again!!
Love You all, thanks for the picture. It did cheer me up.

this sounds wonderful, and it is always good to have a plan. Have fun, take care, and keep in touch, because these places sound great and I want to hear about them.
God is certainly blessing you with some fabulous opportunities.
Still praying

Wendy you're an inspiration to us all. You suddenly leave what you were meant to be doing, go to a campsite for a few days, decide what you're gonig to do next, plan it all out and just do it.
Only thing I'd advise is to find some way of cooking food if poss. Being careful not to start any forest fires of course.
Will pass on to Great Heights what's happening.
May God be with you,
All my love and prayers,
Susie
fort jesus? Tourist trap alert.
Good luck on finding shark, I've always wanted to devour a great white...more for the irony that anything else really.
Glad to hear you getting organised, suggest you try and acquire some sort of cooker to boil water and seek out the Kenyan equivalent of pot noodles and cup a soup if nothing else. Might not be the tastiest stuff in the world but in the mountains a hot drink/meal might be worth the indigestion. Dont know which I wish more, that I was there or you were here. Take care
regarding flight socks - I have lost the odd relative to DVT, and nearly lost several friends. I am very neurotic about them. So even random strangers in shops get the lecture. Sorry. Given unwanted and unrequested advice is a character defect of mine, I am working on it, and heck I am much better than I used to be. Am currently translating Luke 23 into English - it is amazing how much you get out of this, seeing it another language when you are so familiar with it in your own language, it is like reading it for the first time. I recommend this to anyone who has enough of another language to do that.
Take care
