Nairobi, Kenya

In Nairobi, Kenya now and tonight we meet our tour group and tomorrow we get in the bus/jeep and go on safari for 14 days. We don't really know what to do with our time today because there's not a whole lot to do in Nairobi that is interesting us. We could go to a museum but we've had enough of museum's after Cairo the other day. There are also small safari game parks but we've got heaps of that coming up anyway. So we're going to wander around the city a little and see what we find. We've been told not to walk past a certain street because that's the dodgy area of Nairobi. Sometimes the need for security here is a worry. In the hotel we are told to use both locks on our doors at night and if you want to go out at night you take a taxi - never walk. Otherwise it's nice and the people are friendly and love to laugh at just about anything.
Part of the reason for getting on the internet today is that we saw on tv this morning that there was a bombing in Egypt in the last day or so and figured it might be worth letting people know we are alive and not in Egypt anymore. I gather the last bombing in 1996 had a huge impact on tourism for a couple of years with a flow-on effect to the many people making a living in the field. Hope this isn't the case again. Too many nutters out there unfortunately.
That'll do from me for now. Gotta go check what's happening with AFL player trading.
