Got to our next destination without any dramas. Very surprised. Spent the night awake with the polic in Nairobi airport - everything went like clockwork except clock went really slow.
Ready to start our next tour tomorrow. VERY VERY tired
Went out for a walk down some streets of Cairo this afternoon after a 3 hour nap. Crossing the streets are worse than Bangkok - very scary. Cairo itself is just a huge city that is very filthy. Very cold here - a bit of a shock really. Already missing the real Africa of the villages, locals and their abiltiy to try to sell you something.
This tour is a hotel one and am in a hotel tonight,. Got very excited after being in a tent for the past month. Whne got into room found that the heating doesn't work and we still slept in our sleeping bags, room is a twin. Although there is a bath the water is not hot enough to have one. TV doesn't work and radio works for 10 mins thenm has a 20min rest - can't get english speaking station. Shower head only forces water down the wall.
Almost back to normal in the tummy and number 2 area
Can't afford to buy anything else as the bloody Malwi table we bought ahs already put us 5kg over our weight limit and we have not even down Thailand yet where we expected to shop.
Karen - remeber you are on holiday, you were the one that told me that this is one of the best summers for ages!!
Michelle, great to hear that the renovations are continuing. Not drinking much myself actually , don is drinking enought for all of us. Will answer your other questions upon our return.
Really tired so will sign off now and try to have a good nights sleep

Good to hear that you are safely out of Kenya.
I hope the next hotel is a bit more civilised!
I only did half a day of work today and feel better for it. (When I start dreaming about school, going in helps me sleep better.) Came home at midday, gardened, and had a friend over for coffee, wine and catch up.
Please note that yesterday we went kayaking, and that we are heading to Nelson via the West Coast at the weekend. So it is not all work.
Hello wanderers!
Great to know that you are safely in Cairo - even if it sounds like a dump! Have rung your folks immediately and your Mum was pleased to hear you were safe and sound.
Kingsley's parents have gone now (last night)and we are getting ready to get back to work. Deck and curtains are finished and we are looking forward to a sleep in or two.
Sue Gray said she and Onny were off to pick a new eye dog - they will be up to 4 at their place!! She would have loved for you to pick it, but since you aren't available, she will have to do so without you. Not from Glenrock - somewhere else. She and Onny are good - we are all due to catch up as we haven't seen each other nearly enough over the holidays. She is working about 16 or 18 hours at Hornby for the first 6 months, so that is great.
Saw Amanda today - she and Rascal are great. She (Amanda) was sick the other day and spent the day in bed with Rascal - seems genuinely fond of her and she's certainly not shy anymore. Daniel doesn't like the waterbed much, but he's there too, which is good to know.
No news from us, we're well over budget from the renovations, so will need to enjoy the quiet life. Am making the most of another Saudi Princess book of yours - enjoying it almost as much as the first one. Bought Endurance - have made 'Book Club' read it - This month it's held at our place. Hope they like it too!!
Hope to hear from you soon.
Lots of love,
Michelle and Kingsley.
Did you look back and find Trudy and Barb's posting? - it's on the "Game Drive" Blog stuff - weren't sure if you would look back to see it otherwise.
