Soon we will be into a new year, so it’s a good time to reflect on the past year and take stock of what’s been achieved – and what hasn’t. Did you make any new years’ resolutions in January? How many of them are you still on track with?
Ever visited a Kenyan School?
Posted by: | CommentsWhile in Kenya, we visited a local private school called “Little Roots”.
It educates children from the ages of 2.5 years all the way up to 17 years.
We met the head teacher, Mary.
She says she’s 64. She looks 50!
Here’s some of the youngest children at the school:
Lovely Mary. All smiles. Loves her work, loves the children.
Mary tells us that some of the children live at the school, some come from afar, travelling for 1.5 hours just to get there.
School starts at 8am and finishes at 6pm.
Arriving at our Kenyan Hotel

the hotel pool
The welcome at our hotel was great. Everyone welcomed us with big smiles and an ice cold cocktail!
A simple check-in and we were in our room. It was immaculate. Three minutes later our suitcases arrived.
We unpacked. We showered.
We walk excitedly towards the pool. It’s 27 degrees C. Lovely!
Loads of free empty sun beds.
We settled down and enjoyed the sun.
Literally within minutes, a smiley waitress appears.
“JAMBO!”
“Drink?”
Drinks by the pool, followed by lunch by the pool.

Arriving in Kenya
Posted by: | Comments
Our hotel awaits us!
To successfully get through the Kenyan customers, we had to complete 5 different forms.
Five!
Each one of them asking for similar information including passport number and place of stay while in Kenya.
But it didn’t actually take that long to get through the customers. It was pretty efficient and within an hour we were on the coach with our suitcases.
But I must tell you about getting our suitcases on the coach.
No exaggeration!
Ten meters before the coach, a holiday rep took our cases, handed them to the driver and said, “Give me tip”.
