Dar es Salaam
No photos of Dar because most of our time was taken up with searching for doctors – oh what fun. Basically, Emma has an ear infection. We saw one doctor in Mombasa who tried to fleece us and gave a … Continue reading
Mombasa
Mombasa has a much more Muslim influence than Nairobi and you could tell instantly with the number of mosques and covered women around. We only spent one night in the city, doing the obligatory “old town” tour and going round … Continue reading
Choo-choo
We went by sleeper train from Nairobi to Mombasa. It was quite an awesome experience – like something out of an Agatha Christie novel. Everything seemed to be a hangover from colonial times from the Victorian-style station to the posh … Continue reading

Before we left Nairobi our hosts took us to the Langata Giraffe Centre. On the way, we drove past the farmhouse of Karen Blixen – the lady who wrote Out of Africa (see Flickr). The giraffe centre is funded by … Continue reading

An old video from Beirut
Sorry, we forgot to display this one. It is a summary of our time with the Kids' Club at the INMA centre. INMA Kids’ Club Read and post comments | Send to a friend

Obamamania in Nairobi
Before the election, we were starting to get a bit jittery. Everyone here is obsessed with Obama. You wouldn’t think that something happening thousands of miles away would be so important. As we walked down the street, people would shout … Continue reading
