In Mombasa and it's HOT!

So hot the cold shower has no cold water.

We are not made for this weather, I can see Sharon visibly melting as the sun beats down.

The road in is interesting, pretty good by African standards but LOTS of big trucks barrelling through between Nairobi and the port at Mombasa,. This wouldn't be too bad except for the speed variations; some are doing 20kph, some are doing 80kph ... thundering along as they bear down on you as you attempt to overtake a slower truck whilst all involved are dodging potholes and stray live stock. Entertaining!

Mark has safely returned to London and now gets to play with his 20GB of photo's, this may take a while. Don't forget to do some work!

Sorry to hear about your traumas - the Chinese saying 'may you not live in interesting times' comes to mind. Hopefully the healing of the various injuries is continuing OK, and restricting you less in what you can do. I suppose you can't cool off in the ocean with limbs in plaster. Kathy

Swimming with a cast on is difficult, but we have tried cooling off with walks in the jungle -- which hasn't really helped!

Still hanging in there, got to play with some giant tortoises today!

2,380 photos, 17.5 Gb. At least I now have plenty of time to sit around and label them all while I wait for my cheek to get better.
