I think it's time for me to start travelling again....
I must say, after finally receiving my long-awaited UK passport, I was quite reluctant to let it go but I had to send it off with applications for my African and Indian visas. I leave on Feb 23rd for Ethiopia where I will visit my cousin Rachel, her husband Alimu, and their two little boys Theo and Nathanial. Ray and Al are both teachers and live in Addis Ababa, the Capitol, and, as luck would have it, it will be half term when I'm there so we will get to have a good visit and spend lots of time together. After eight days there I fly to Nairobi where I will do a safari into Tanzania. It is what they call an overland tour where you travel in these big army-like vehicles high off the ground, suitable for rough roads. After spending a few days in Kenya, we will load up with supplies and head out into the Serengeti where we will be staying in rustic tents and lodges. Apparently, the Ngorongoro Crater is where we will see many big game animals as they gather at the water hole at sunrise and sunset every day. After the Safari adventure, I head to India travelling from New Delhi to Kolkata where i hope to volunteer at Mother Theresa's orphanage. I fly back to Liverpool just in time for Easter and my Uncle Terry's 70th birthday.
I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am for this next adventure! I will have limited email access but will write and post when I can.
Thanks for reading!
