Postcards from East Africa: A visit to Kenya's capital

http://postcardsfromeastafrica.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-visit-to-kenyas-capital.html

Wednesday, September 19, 2012. A visit to Kenya's capital. For two full days over the state of the road. From what we were told, no one was allowed in or out of the park. The result was that the government of Kenya had six weeks to make a start on improving the road before further protests. See what happens! The road to Nairobi? C handschuh 68@yahoo.com). In the city centre we visited the Kenyatta International Conference Centre which offers a great view of the city from the top of its tower. Neither Mik...

Overland Ruth: Overland Ruth's History

http://overlandruth.blogspot.com/2012/04/history.html

This car was imported from Japan into Zambia in 2005 by an American Embassy worker who owned the car until 2009. It was subsequently purchased by an Australian VSO Volunteer who owned the car for 18 months before selling it to us in November 2010. She have successfully completed trips through Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe multiple times, tackled the sand in Chobe National Park in Botswana many times and seen much of Zambia before commencing on the East Africa journey from Zambia to Ethiopia.

Rob in Zambia: May 2012

http://robwootton.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Volunteering in Zambia with VSO. Saturday, May 19, 2012. Fire, Fire, pour on water, pour on water. Saturday, May 12, 2012. Clocking up the kilometres and the hours. A summary of the week in Western Province, mainly to show that getting around just one province in Zambia can be a lengthy, time consuming and bumpy task. 8 hrs by bus (passed through the centre of Kafue National Park but no animals in sight). 3hrs by boat but first a 3hr wait for the boat to fill up with passengers. 5hrs, more dust and bumps.

Overland Ruth: Why Buy Overland Ruth?

http://overlandruth.blogspot.com/2012/04/why-buy-overland-ruth.html

Why Buy Overland Ruth? Despite civil unrest in many parts of Africa most of East Africa still presents a relatively safe and realistic travel destination. The events of 2011 in Egypt and Sudan have made the traditional Cape-to-Cairo less accessible and an Ethiopia-to-Cape Town trip more appealing hence Overland Ruth being sold in Addis Ababa - just fly into Addis Ababa and drive south.

Postcards from Zambia: January 2011

http://postcardsfromzambia.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, January 30, 2011. Life in Zambia after (nearly) 4 months. It’s hard to believe, but we have now been in. For nearly 4 months; it feels much longer! I don’t say that in necessarily a bad way. I think that time just goes so much slower here and it does make me wonder what the next 20 months or so will be like. Since my last blog prior to Christmas, life has been relatively busy here with plenty of visitors, a trip to. Onset of wet season. Perhaps I should get the sadder events out of the way first.

Postcards from Zambia: March 2011

http://postcardsfromzambia.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, March 20, 2011. A trip on the Royal Livingstone Express. To celebrate our birthdays, which are about a month apart, Mike and I decided to treat ourselves to a night out on the Royal Livingstone Express. The 10th class No. 156 Locomotive:. The ‘Runs Around’ to the back of the train. When we arrived for our train ride Mike and I found a red carpet and were presented with what we thought was a glass of sparkling but actually turned out to be apple juice. Canapés and drinks in the Lounge Cart. And co...
