Arriving in Nairobi

Hi all! The flight was great, I slept for about 5 hours out of 13, more than Dave managed. Emirates plane food was delicious (details for mum: macaroni cheese, brocolli and carrots with salads, roll and blackcurrant cheesecake). We are just about to leave the Fairview Hotel in Nairobi to go to the Massai Mara!! This is a slight change of plan having had a quick chat to Andy and Cheryl. For those who don't know, Andy is our friend travelling from S. Africa to Norway (www.cape-to-cape.co.uk) and Cheryl is his girlfriend. They have already been to the MM and recommend it over the Serengheti as the wildebeast are leaving the Mara following the rains to the Serengheti as we speak!!! We will hopefully, fingers crossed see this for ourselves. Yesterday while I was in the gorgeous pool, Dave arranged our safari (we were both very tired so thanks Dave!) and we are being picked up from reception in 5 minutes so this has to be short. On friday we will be taken back to Andy and Cheryl's camp site in Nairobi where we will continue onto Lake Naivasha and onwards through Kenya to Uganda together in their truck, called Mel. Okay - I've been summoned to reception, Susan our guide has arrived, hopefully we'll get a chance to write more soon!! Lots of love Joey and Dave xxx

MITTENS UPDATE

It was tough for her at first, Romeo stole her bed and we had to false him to get out. He wasn't going without a fight, he was clinging on for dear life when we tipped it upside down!
Mittens has been fighting back and has re-claimed her bed. (Romeo is sleeping on my head again) Mitten has also won the battle for the kitchen and romeo has waved his white flag and let her have it. She is getting a little braver every day and it now commencing the battle of the hall.
Will keep you posted as the war continues.

Love you guys x x x

oh my god guys - that all sounds so fab and exciting! i'm not sure about the luxurious sounding hotel though - aren't you supposed to be roughing it a bit?! and you call yourselves 'travellers'...
