Discussion flowing well - planning meeting

Part of the process is reminiscing......and we have done a lot of that...

We are looking forward to the culinary delights of Buburi...couscous with weevils and Ugali..which tastes worse than it sounds....
Bats in the sitting room, bats in the belfry, cockroaches in the sukumo wiki and mongoose(mongeese) in the long drop!!
Cumbai (flying ants) which apparently tast of vanilla or bacon which was an ant too far!!

When we had tired of the village life we retired to the plush Hotel Inca in kisumu...which had in the "best " room a toilet seat and a mosquito net with large holes in.. but had the only cold beer in the region and the best curry in Kenya.

More planning to do and maybe better after a good nights sleep.

more news tomorrow

Quahari! xx

Friends of Buburi

Hello everyone, thank you for viewing this blogspot.
We are busy getting ready to visit the lovely people of Buburi again. Sallie and Noreen are coming over to this evening and we're going to have a great reunion and chat over a glass or two about our plans for October.
We are flying out of Heathrow on October 24th 2008 and arrive in Nairobi on Saturday 25th October at 6am. I can't wait to feel that African dawn and see those wide open skies and feel Africa again. We hope to be able to get an Internal flight to Kisumu at 8am that morning and arrive in hot and sunny Kisumu at about 9.30am. We're looking forward to meeting up with Rom and hearing all his news then off to the luxuries of the Inca Hotel - can't wait!
After getting supplies and hopefully visiting Usoma School we are planning on driving out to Buburi on Tuesday 28th October to greet all our wonderful friends at Buburi.
Must rush to work now as I'm late! Jo
