Adjusting and falling in love

Zanzibar was stunning. The most beautiful beaches I have ever seen, I cannot think of how they could be more perfect. Had a lush few days relaxing with my friend, Laura. Even met a Ryan Giggs lookalike, amazing! Always great to see a familiar face!

The meat consumption has continued.....now includes beef, octopus and squid-had never even eaten those before!! There have been a few comments about how obsessed I now am, but I have two years to catch up on, and am loving how free range everything is, so trying to keep the guilt down low! Hoping to add ostrich and crocodile to the list this week..... It was just gonna be a Tanzania thing, then a pre working thing, but now I am wondering how I can live in Africa without meat. Not sure if it's the whole 2 years without it, or just the sheer quality, but it is amazing and fills my thoughts regularly hehehe

I've spent the last few days in Nakuru with Zoe, who lives here. It is absolutley gorgeous. Very chilled, surrounded by mountains, and filled with giraffe, zebra, buffalo, impala....and so it continues. Loving being in Africa. Have just been haggling in the markets trying to get things for the house. Yesterday I almost cuddled a dog, it's def coming. Managed to spend longer stroking them anyway. Had just been to a friend's house for the most awesome fresh beef burgers though, so possibly was due to an extreme state of contentment and relaxation! Zoe is impressed with my growth, and how my anxiety levels are either better hidden or reducing!

So as to give a balanced view.....I miss my shoes-dreamt about them last night! Have had generally very cold showers since arriving, got pretty bitten on the coast, the Internet is slow, and there are actual monkey traps on my school campus!!!! Still I love it and am so happy and excited to be here.
