Cant Find a Unique Name

The food in the hotel i think is the biggest plus. Every morning for breakfast we are given a large fruit bowl as shown below, a large platter of pastries including croissants, pancakes, cakes and biscuits (Shell has discovered a new favourite spread - Nutella which she spreads in large amounts on the pancakes), spanish omlettes with bacon, fresh coffee and finally freshly squeezed passion fruit juice. This can be ...

We arrived into our hotel 'The Next Paradise' at about 5pm after just the one car breaking down on the way. The hotel is stunning and would hold about forty people in peak season but at this time there is only three other guests. The staff number about twenty and took us immedeatly to one of their best rooms for the price of the cheapest. On the walk through the hotel you could see how much time and money has been spent ...

When we arrived back at the hotel we were expecting a flight booked. I am still not sure how Shell had managed to persuade me to do this. As you read in a previous post, I hate flying nevermind flying on a budget internal kenyan flight. We found out that the flight would take about 90mins but would require a stop in Mombasa. You read that right a ninety minute flight with a stopover! Not what i needed to hear as now ...

We set off to the Masai Mara reserve after watching the kids rub anti bacteria lotion into their hair. The drive was about two hours and on the way we saw various Antelopes, Zebras etc. The most abundant appeared to be the Thompsons Gazelle. We got to the new campsite 'Achai Camp' at about 1pm and were met with some much more luxurious but none the less very basic looking tents. These were perfect as you could stand ...

We booked a four day three night safari leaving at 8am. The first night was supposed to be 'Cultural' and was at Shells request. The next two were on safari at my request. In theory these are so wildly different i think i should split them up into separate posts.... We set off promptly at 9am and immedeatly hit the Kenyan traffic. After about an hour we made it out of Nairobi and into the countryside only to stop ...

So we went to a famous resturant 'Carnivore' last night as we had heard great things about the number of different meats you could try. The evening looked promising as by the entrance we were met by a massive array of fine bbq'ed delights We started of lightly with some minestrone soup but soon got onto the good stuff we ate the following regular stuff: Pork, Beef, Chicken, Turkey and Goat but then got some ...

We landed yesterday absolutely shattered after 16 or so hours of travelling really took their toll. A day of work was quickly followed by a dash down to Gatwick to get our conneting flight to Dubai. I am not a great flyer but the plane was amazing. For the first time ever i smiled 30secs into take off. Its hard to describe being scared of flying. Most people would call it idiotic particularly given i drive 5hrs a day ...
