So after a total of 24 hours in transit, I arrived in Nairobi this morning at 6 am local time. We were out all day running errands and getting paperwork set up (and I'm very proud of myself for not just curling up in the back of the truck and going to sleep) and I'm all set up with a phone.
I met several of the other hyena researchers and they seem like an awesome group. We're going to have a lot of fun ;D
I tried a little driving today. The truck is a manual, so I'm in the process of refreshing my memory on how to handle one of those. Driving in Nairobi reminds me a lot of driving in the Philippines (i.e. massive amounts of insanity with very little organization) BUT everyone drives on the left side of the road! My stick is on the left side, and my blinker is on the right! O.o Ok, so this will take a little getting used to...
We'll be in the city for a few more days running errands and resupplying before we drive out to the Masai Mara. I can't wait!

ReplyDeleteHaha, I couldn't imagine refreshing manual and learning left side of the road, let alone in a country where road rules are more guidelines :D Good luck Camille!
