It would be fair to say that this stop was not planned on our predeparture itinerary.
Let me start by stressing that everyone is ok and there are no long term health effects, and also let me apologise for any typos. This is being composed by my left hand as my right arm is broken.
We were attacked by 6 thugs on the return trip from a trek to the Mau Mau caves. Fortunately our guide managed to play possum and then escape to pass warning or this could have been very serious. The thugs battered us, then robbed us in a very haphazard fashion, taking wallets, 1 camera but leaving watches, jewellery and many other valuables.
Sharon, Mark and I have been recovering at the lovely Nanyuki Cottage Hospital and are due to have stitches removed today so are feeling much more optimistic, especially as the urgent dental work has also been sorted.
Apologies that I can't respond to all your messages as my typing is limited, but thank you very much for your thoughts and best wishes.
We have cancelled the Gorilla expedition due to our injuries but plan to continue in Kenya, we are currently dealing with travel insurance which is proving to be only slightly less painful than being mugged. Yes, our sense of humour is still intact so we are all ok!
One of the gits was captured so next Tuesday we get to testify at his trial. The Kenyan judicial system is quite different to anything I have experienced before but I am hopeful they will capture the other 5 brain dead assailants too.
I will update again next week and let you all know how we are doing.
Cheers,
Anthony

Hey Tony,
Beth and I were really sorry to hear about your travails over the last little while and we hope you get better quickly and can get on and enjoy the rest of your holiday in the manner you had planned!
All the best to you, Sharon and Mark, and say hi to Rae and Chris if you see them again before you leave.
Cheers,
Simon
Hey you 2
Hope things are mending! Sounds grim. House lovely, weather dreikh. Is that how you spell it?
Okay you two, you better be okay and getting better fast or there will be serious troble - I may even have to send over a drunken moon priest for healing purposes and more worrying a tattoed man for security!
Back in UK so if there is anything I can do tell me.
Love to both of you
The tattooed man for security sounds very worrying. I once met a guy with a tattoo that felt very strange - the skin had sort of altered...
Hi Tony, Just heard about your adventure (lets call it that) and I am glad to hear that your all OK.
I know I said you needed some plastic surgery but you didn't have to go to these lengths I would have done it for you no problem at all.
I hope you get back to your proper adventure soon.
Hi Guys,

Hope you can get back to normal travels soon and can put all of this behind you.

Hi folks doing ok. Cheers for the wishes and we didn't get charged by the Nakuru rhino's which would have added injury to maimings!
