To Tanzania

Im sorry, but I really havent had much time to use the computer because Dad has been using it to suss out his notes, but here is some of my journal of the journey to Tanzania:
The Kenyan flight was crazy. The plane had come from Hong Kong and was packed, the overhead luggage compartments to the pint of explosion if touched.We were awoken in the morning at 4:30 for breakfast and the dawn over Kenya was amazing. We just caught the sunrise before landing in Nairobi and the colours were beautiful. We were sitting on the west side of the plane, so could only see the sun’s effect on the clouds, but that was enough. The clouds were like solid objects and seemed to be sitting absolutely still in the air, totally different from the clouds of NZ which are always on the move. Mt. Kenya was sticking out of the clouds, it’s a huge mountain as tall as Mt.Cook in NZ.
The air was clear and cool at the Nairobi airport at 6:20 in the morning. It was a walk from the plane to the actual airport building, but the sun was just coming up. The were quite a few army planes at the air field as well. I noticed the luggage machine driver txting on his cellphone.

We got on the bus from Kenya to`Tanzania, Nairobi to Arusha. The main road right the way through East Africa is badly riddled with pot holes, which makes for an interesting journey as your driver is move concerned about avoiding them than swerving in front of other vehicles. In the first few minutes of our bus trip we saw three giraffe which was amazing. We also saw some Gazelle, Ostrich, and Camels, as well as cows and goats (but no sheep). It was an amazing trip, there were massaii people on the road everywhere in their blight colours against very dark skin, they are beautiful people. The landscape of Kenya is like nothing I've ever seen before.
