Hello, we thought that we would create this blog to keep you up to date on what we are up to.




We are currently in Kenya where we have spent three weeks in a town called Machakos where we learnt lots about African culture etc. This was great fun, we met lots of great people and learnt important African skills like how to catch a Boda Boda, (a ride on the back of a push bike), or in a Tuc Tuc, (see photo).









We spent one day at 'Small Worlds' which is a game park with good food. This photo shows us with a few of our new friends on top of a Land Cruiser (A Land Rover would have been better!) for our safari. We saw lots of animals such as giraffes (see blog title photo!), zebras, ostriches, etc.











Last week we went to Kijabe which is north west of Nairobi for our language course. Kijabe has a good hospital and an international school (a mini America). The course consisted of learning how to learn a language and practicing it with our language helpers at the shops.


Kijabe overlooks the Rift Valley which you can see in the photo and several inactive volcanoes.
