Just a quick one, 4 September

Jambo, jambo everyone.
We are now at Voi Wildlife Lodge, having spent a couple of days at Masai Mara, and a night in Nairobi yesterday. We did a fair bit of driving yesterday, as well as visiting a giraffe reserve and a beads factory -- will post a new blog soon, we hope. As mentioned in some emails, the internet here is so very slow, and quite expensive. We literally only have enough time to open up emails, read them quickly, then post a blog; suddenly half an hour is gone and we pay $20 for the privilege!
Just to let you know, we brought a small iBook laptop with us. We download our photos each night, and if we have some spare time we write some material for a blog, and add to it till next we have time on the internet. We then load the text file on to a memory stick, and load the text onto the blog when we have access to the internet ... that's why there's so much to read, ha, ha!
The internet is so slow it is impossible to upload photos, so sorry about that. We hope in Dubai, where it is far more modern, we may have the opportunity to upload some photos then, just to whet your appetites.
It simply reflects how much we are taking in, there's just so much to process.
Take good care of yourselves. We miss you and wish you were all here with us, it would make a special trip even more unbelievable!

Oh my goodness, Piero - this is possibly better reading than your Europe trip!! And that was an ace commentary!
I feel like I'm there with you (phew, saves me the airfare to Africa now, he he!).
Shez - your description of the kids and singing with them made me teary...in a public place (I'm at uni, procrastinating) - what a fabulous experience.
We no longer seem to have CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome) at our place, so when you get back and settled into Oz life again, we'll set a date for you guys to see us in our natural habitat instead of us imposing ourselves on yours :)
Take care, beautiful people!!
x Iz, Tom and Oscar (who is such a chatter box now...)

To Mrs Taylor,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR SUNDAY!!! Have fun on your historical excursion in Dubai! What country is Dubai in?
It's a shame about the expense of African internet.
Have fun & keep posting,
