Arrival to Nairobi
After meeting the delegation of five adventurers at Heathrow, we checked in and our journey had started.
My fellow team members are:
Dean, a lad from Nottingham with his mate Steve from Essex. They soon showed to be two walking comedy shows. Everything that came out of them was pure comedy, its great! They had spent the night drinking and were looking for a pub at 4am at the airport. Just fantastic :)
Jan, a tall guy from London who works for the charity. A nice guy who has the lovely job to keep us all together and get us down to Africa.. Oh dear.
Shaun, a Scotsman from Dundee and his mate Ben, a Welshman living in Cambridge. Shaun has spent the night at Heathrow and is rather quiet when we meet. Ben looks like a pure outdoory person with his fleece and boots on. Its a quite interesting crowd to say the least.
And me. I will travel with 5 boys for the next 10 days, climb a mountain, live close and constantly be in each others faces. But I had a good feeling about them, it would be great.
Ben and Shaun at Heathrow Airport, 4am
After two flights we arrive in Nairobi around 7pm. We are met by Abel at the airport, and he shows to be our guide for the walk up to the top. He tells us that its his 830th time, so we feel like we are in good hands. We stay overnight at the Wildebeest hostel just outside Nairobi, and after having the specialty of Kenyan pizza for dinner. The top moment that night was when the waiter gave Ben the phone to discuss the missing pizza with the pizza delivery people, as the waiter got tired of them. After settling and getting ready in our 6-bed room, we quickly fall asleep.
Shaun, our little princess under his mosquito net.. :)
