A holiday in Nairobi

At the start of half term we all went to Nairobi to see what was there.

(Daddy apologises for the poor quality photos - he kept forgetting his new camera and only ever had his phone with him!)

First stop after the long drive was Village Market where we looked in shops and had lunch and ice cream.

This is where we stayed, at the Headmaster of Peponi School's house. It was massive! He had a nice dog called Tully and another dog called Diego also came to visit. We ate our meals on the veranda. It was all very nice.  There was also a TV which we watched a lot, even watching Frozen on the movie channel. We did get bitten a lot by mosquitoes.

 We went to the elephant orphanage. I stroked one!!






 
We had lunch at a famous restaurant called The Carnivore. We ate lots of meat, including ostrich and crocodile!

We also visited The Giraffe Centre where we were able to feed giraffe.



 
This is Edd the giraffe. He was very friendly.

Scout camp trip.

I went on my first scout camp this weekend. This is me with my things I took. It was fun. It was in Nairobi. It was one night long. I slept in a tent with Gloria, Medina and Maria. There were monkeys there. One of them screamed in the night. We went on a long hike. We had a camp fire. The Sparks were funny. We sang lots of songs. We learnt which whistles mean what. We did a treasure hunt today and the prize was mint lollipops. The other group got lots of little sweets for their prize. 

My tooth came out!

2 of my teeth have fallen out in Kenya. The tooth fairy still comes but she brings paper money here. She gave me 50 shillings for each tooth.
