The Trip

The Amazing London Eye
(I believe that it is the largest farris wheel in the world)

I'm home - at least in one of my homes. We are staying at the Hampton House guest house in Nairobi. Our travels were relatively uneventful. We had a 12 hour layover in London and made good use of it. A four hour rest at the nearby Renaissance Heathrow Hotel and a two hour driving tour of Central London. It was a whirlwind but very fun. I got some very interesting blurry pictures of London as we wizzed by it. It was fun to see all the Christmas lights in the twilight around 4:30pm.

Our only glitch in the trip came back at Terminal Three of the London Airport - they ad some difficulty getting our boarding passes. It was kinda crazy for few minutes as we cleared security and dashed towards are gates - but we made it in time to settle down for the 8 hour flight. We landed yesterday morning around 7:30 AM local time - aournd 11:30 PM for all to back in the Eastern Time Zone. I slept about 5 hours during the afternoon and sadly only around 5 hours during the night. I'll try to stay awake longer today. On Tuesday we return to "real" life in Londiani where I'll start fitting my lifestyle around the many new opportunities that I have now that I'm back - including taking lots of videos with my new video camera - a gift from a friend and supporter of our work. So be on the look out for some videos in the near future - I might even load them on You-Tube one of these days.
