First real day

As yesterday was mostly spent travelling, today was our first day that we really felt that the expedition had begun. This morning, we awoke to a loud chorus of Kenyan insects making noise outside, after our treat of a sleep in! Being on the catering team for today, I still haven't seen the build site, but instead spent the day building up the fire, making food and endlessly purifying water. Kenya is absolutely amazing and feels so different from home. On the drive here we saw a variety of wildlife, including zebras on the side of the road! We are all thoroughly looking forward to get back to ( or begin ) building. The people here are wonderfull and the children treat you like you are from another planet, and love touching your hands. The weather is boiling, but cools down to a nice cooler temperature at night. All in all I would have to sum up my experience so far as follows, its being an amazing first few days that I will never forget.
