So our time in the birthplace of humanity come to a close.
The long drive back was heart-breaking for both Mrs G and myself. We had a goodbye meal with the other volunteers, then mopped about in Nairobi for a couple of days, where I tried to write this up as best I could.
However, I don't think I could really explain what it's been like. It has been life changing. There is so many things that happened, so much I've learnt. I cant wait to return to Africa.
Living in the bush was amazing, hearing the wildlife walk right up to your tent, seeing elephants playing, sparring, sleeping, just feet away from you, zebras in the road, scorpions in your boots (maybe not a good one) and snakes in the trees.
But what has affected me most is the people. I have met some amazing people, and learnt about some amazing cultures. My outlook on life has certainly changed, from seeing both the amazing and the awful things.
Anyway, my flights due, I'd best be off.
Next post from India.
