Day 75 Mta Wa Mdo. 17/12/12

So, we have started another leg of our journey southwards, with our new complement including as usual a batch of Aussies (one with her Uruguayan father), two Dutch, one Czech, a different American and a different Swiss, and a Japanese (aged just 22). I may be the oldest, but am pleased to say the average age has moved a bit in my direction. Nairobi seems to have lost all (?) of its former colonial buildings etc and, although may be not be first world, is very definitely not third, with many modern high rise buildings and a seemingly good road system. There are obviously countless churches of all varieties in Kenya, in everything from a very meagre shack to rather impressive.

By 11.00, we were over the border and into Tanzania - quite painless, but more an African rather than a European way of doing things. Still had to have our fingerprints taken on entry. Good road almost all of the way to our camp site at Mto Wa Mdo.
