Day 41 - Friday 10/11/2006
Nairobi
Well fellow campers, ( I still can't stand camping & never will) we have made it to Nairobi. Nicks Cs Bike has been to Hospital and is now much better and infact looking like new. Mine goes in on Monday for its service and wash (I could do with one too). We are now chilling at the Nairobi Safari Club in downtown Narobi.
Last night we went out to the Nondies Rugby Club and obviously had far to many beers, well I did anyway, and also confess to a few whiskies. Gone are the days of Pepsi Cola addiction, it was a close call at times. Hand on heart I can say it wont happen again!
As for the trip so far, to be honest and I think the other Nick would agree, Sudan was a real challenge, mentally and physically. Ethiopia and Northern Kenya were also hardships. At this point I would ask none of you to mention the word sand when you next meet up with Nick as he just seems to fall over at the mention of the word!! No seriously we had a lot probs with all types of terraine.
Well, not sure what day we are leaving Kenya but probably Tuesday next.
For now Cheers to all and thanks for watching this space.

Well done you two. We all know you have been through hell and back but the most difficult part of your journey should be nearly over now. NREG, you must be relieved and excited to reach Kenya-sorry, I mean Nairobi. Familiar territory and catching up with old friends must be a great. Keep up the good work. We are looking forward to seeing some photos from the school in Thika and hearing first hand about what they are doing there. The children at Rodmarton can't wait. Also, keep taking the film footage, whatever you can get, roads, terrain, borders, signposts and of course eating the sand, will be of great use. The TV producers are very keen and looking forward to meeting you in Cape Town and completing the film. BBC Radio Gloustershire are keeping up to date and would also like to do a phone interview when you reach CT. Enjoy Noirobi but don't let Andrew over-entertain you. Remember you have a challenge to complete!! No pressure but you could be finished in less than a month.
Lots of love and all the luck of the Irish.

Hi Nick, thankyou for your letter. Chris rings to tell me he is working all Christmas so I won't be seeing them. I should have come to Capetown shouldn't I. Not to worry you can cook my turkey for New Year. Love to Victoria Falls. Take care. Love Mum.
