A week ago we went to the Elephant orphanage opposite our school and saw lots of very cute baby elephants. I am really not an animal lover, but it sucks you in here, and you can't help but get excited about seeing a rhino, or a field full of zebra (my current favourite animals, the stripes are just so funny!) I was quite reluctant to touch the elephants, but did rather briefly pat one on the head! Wasn't expecting them to be hairy but then am hardly an animal expert to know what to expect!
Settling into the school routine, and really enjoying it. Started running before work-decided it was time I battled the altitude! It is harder definitely, but is starting to get easier. Can't see me doing any marathons over here though..... Loving the pool too though it is freezing at first, and so hard to jump in! Guess it makes the first few lengths faster though.
My trunk is in Kenya...still at the airport though....it's being scrutinized by Kenyan customs.....oh dear, sure they will be enjoying the Stephen Jones caricature! It is expected on Friday.....trying not to get hopes up yet, Kenyan bureaucracy is well....intense!!
Get real pangs of homesickness, and think of you all a lot and giggle, but settling in and really enjoying it. It feels more and more like home. Planning a lil explore for half term, and keen to see more of this beautiful country-animals included, bring on the leopard sighting!!
