Tag 7 - 8: Waisehuus und fahre
May 26, 2019 in Kenya ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Und scho esch es weder Ziit Kenia z verloh und üs uf de Wäg richtig Uganda z mache. Mer händ d Fahrt über Gränzi uf Jinja uf zwoi Täg ufteilt.

Am erste Tag simmer 4h gfahre und händ no ehn Zwüschehalt ih ehmene Chinderheim ihgleid. Üsi Guides händ üs vorhär gfrogt ob mer wähled go und händ au klar gseid, dass sie falls mer gönd wärded ehn Spänd erwarte. Es funktioniert also so dass d Heimleiteri üs umefüehrt und über ihri Arbeit mit de Chind verzellt. Denn hämmer Ziit zum mit de Chind spiele und üs z Unterhalte. Währed de Spielziit döfe mer zu ihre is Büro wo sie Chetteli wo d Chind ih de Ferie möched verchaufed und Spände jeglicher Art (also au Stifte, Chleider, Ässe oder was au immer mer wott gäh) entgegä nähmed. Ziit wo mer mit de Chind verbrocht händ hed richtig Spass gmacht! Sie händ sich gfreut so viel Ufmerksamkeit z becho und händ eifach alles ah üs spannend gfunde. Au d Erklärige vo de Heimleiteri hed zeigt dass sie ehn gueti Arbeit leisted und mer händ alli gärn öbbis dezue biitreid dass die Arbeit cha wiiter go.

De Mäntig hämmer denn im Bus verbrocht. D Fahrt esch über 7h gange, dezue simmer no ca. ehn Stund ah de Gränzi ahgstande. Es esch aber gliich ehn lustige Tag gsii! D Landschaft esch wunderschön zum ahluege, mer fahrt immer wieder dor chlini Dörfli wo eim d Lüüt fröhlich zuewinked und mer chli öbbis vom Alltagsläbe cha beobachte. Au mit de Lüüt im Truck hanis werklich lustig gha. Mer händ üsi gmeinsam erstellti Mitsing-Playlist, spieled Dänkspieli oder probiered üs chli Suaheli bizbringe ☺️.Read more

Day 33
Day 29 - Poa Resort
May 11, 2017 in Kenya ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Meeting night tonight, so not a lot to do. Tom and Sherry took us on their Bible studies today, a very nice experience. We decided to stop for lunch at Poa Resort. There are these little oases all over the world. You can pay a few dollars and go inside the resort and enjoy the amenities for the day. Or, go the restaurant, buy a meal and enjoy the surroundings for awhile. Here we found pretty gardens and lots of birds to watch - the sunbird especially - a relative to the hummingbird, but it doesn't hover.

We all ordered a beer and a platter of snacks to share. We were finished our beer, but there were no snacks (fast food doesn't exist here - as we have also learned to be true in Mexico). When we asked, we were told, "Yes, it's coming soon!". About 10 minutes more passed and it arrived - a problem with the fryer we were told. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the food and our 'break' ended up about 2 hours long, but we were all quite happy.

Home for a couple of hours and then we headed to the 5:30 mid-week meeting. Unlike Sunday, where we went a little overtime and everyone lingered and visited, the meeting was over early and everyone was gone quite quickly. The school children come dressed in their uniforms and many come straight from work or the ministry so they want to get home. Plus, when the meeting was finished it was dark and raining. In the congregation there are two cars and one motor bike, so the majority are traveling on foot.Read more
Bernhard Wentzek Been fun following your trip. Cannot wait to see all the photos you've taken!

Day 5
To Eldoret
July 3, 2017 in Kenya ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
An early morning visit to a local farm where we felt like we were back in the English countryside, barns, tractors, black and white cows... They had friendly dogs and calves too. We are in different cook groups but had to both buy for the next couple of days so a mad rush around the supermarket, some snacks for lunch and we were on our way with a few hours drive. We stopped at road side stalls to buy fresh veg and the local butchers, come tea room for the meat. We crossed the Equator today too. We have been really impressed by the reception we get from the locals, they are smiley and friendly. The children particularly love to wave and smile as we pass them.Read more
Lyndsay McDonnell You certainly have seen so many different cultures and ways of life on your travels. Don't think I fancy having tea at the butchers but it must be interesting to do food shopping. Hope the lorry is more comfortable than it looks!!! Enjoy it all, love xxxx

Day 65
Strecke nach Eldoret
May 6, 1990 in Kenya ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Wieder besser auf den Beinen aber fett ist was anderes. Durch eine reizvolle Landschaft ging's nach Kenia. Nach einen langwierigen Grenzübertritt schaffte ich es noch bis Eldoret wo ich dann wieder vollkommen schlapp war. Konnte mich fast nichts auf den Beinen halten. Blieb dann hier und versuchte mich zu regenerieren.Read more
