Contact in Kenya

Well it's about 2 hours until I have to be at the airport here in Johannesburg. By mid afternoon I'll be in Nairobi where I'll stay for the night before catching a 9 hour bus ride to the small city of Bungoma near the Uganda border. I'm excited but scared all at the same time. No more luxury of running water and electricity. And no incredible beaches to laze around on all day. The survival of the fittest! I spent the past week on Anstie's Beach just outside of Durban on the Eastern coastline. The golden mile of sand was right at my doorstep. I didn't do too much other than swim a lot and get to know the other backpackers. We had a lot of Braai parties in the evenings and there was a french chef that showed up with his girlfriend so we got spoiled a little as well. I also did a surfing lesson with a guy named JJ. He's the spokesperson for the competition "big wave africa". He was about 60 but had me standing up on the surf board in the deep water before the hour was up. I think now I am hooked. I should have done the lesson at the beginning of the trip rather than the end, maybe then I could have gotten better at it! Anyways incase of any sort of emergency the phone number where I will be is +254735122086. This cell belongs to a man named Benson who runs the organization I'll be working for. Hopefully I'll get my own line as well. The address there is "WEPOGA Kenya, BOX 662 Bungoma, Code 50200, Kenya". Feel free to send me care packages!!!! Although don't send anything that looks too large or exciting or the people at the postal office will be taking it home with them. Just the way things work on this continent! Ok I hope everyone is well and thanks for finally adding some comments to this page! CIAO :)
