But Luke is hot too.
We're planning a trip to Luke's school (yrs 7 and 8) this afternoon.
Yesterday we caught a bus from Nairobi to Moshi. About 8 hrs. The
Lonely Planet says the road from Nairobi to the border town (Namanga)
is "sealed and in surprisingly good condition". We figured this was by
african standards, or that we travelled after roadworks began, such
that most of our trip was going on detours to the dusty rocky bumpy
road parallel to the sealed road. Perhaps the rain washed it away.
Passports for africans seem to be a piece of paper with stamps on -
perhaps with a photo. Unfortunately some people didn't have
appropriate I.D or documents for travel - when the bus continued in
Tanzania we had lost 2 passengers through the border crossing. After a
wait of more than an hour it was time to move on.
Travelling with Dad in Cambodia and Thailand was good preparation for
this trip. The touting was child's play after Cambodia's capital -
think it helps that Luke can refuse with good swahili. I don't think
the bus went over any holes big enough for the wheels to actually
lodge in... plus it was all during the day.
But I did spend much of the trip with Luke's hankie over my nose -
just another strange thing for a mzungu (white person) to do.
