Dear Friends,
Wow, that was just wonderful! We had an amazing two days!
 |
| Simply relaxing... |
No handshaking, no visitor book, no “how are you?” (also we must admit, that regarding the latter, people are very creative: we got a “how is you?” and a “how are yous?” over the last few weeks in Kimilili...)
Our highlight of the travel:
 |
| Flushing toilets!!! What a great invention! |
Lake Victoria (the second largest fresh water lake in the world) is just impressive. Most of our time in Kisumu we spent in a boot touring the lake:
 |
| Our boat... |
 |
| Fishing on Lake Victoria |
We have seen a lot of wild animals including monkeys, crocodiles, hippos (!) and all kind of birds. We didn’t realize how fast some of the animals can move until we went crocodile hunting in slippers / flip flops...
Agnes got attacked only by one animal:
 |
| Two little harmless frogs... |
 |
| ...suddently jumping (no, no hidden prince...) |
What we liked even more than the flushing toilets? THE FOOD!
 |
| How great is Heinz??? |
 |
| Mmmhh, no Ugali, Chapati or Rice: just Fish and Chips! |
Have you ever tried to eat grilled fish in hot tomato sauce without cutlery?
 |
| Whole fish... |
 |
| ... and leftovers... |
 |
| Freshly collected off the fields... |
 |
| ...Yummi... |
We really enjoyed the two days in Kisumu. Less enjoyable was the trip back home to Kimilili (Yes, it really felt like coming home when we finally arrived). We got up at 5 am, had to take 5 overcrowded Matatus (on the way to Kisumu we only had to take two) and the other passengers were just not willing to have a shower that early in the morning before going on a journey…
Enjoy your saturday!
Love and kisses from Alex & Agnes

I really admire what you and your friend are doing. It really takes courage but mostly a big big heart.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Astrid showed me some of your blogs about your experiences in Kenya. The stories are quite amazing but equally impressive is the way you write. Congratulations.. let me know when you publish a book so that I can buy it and get your autograph before you become too famous :)
Good luck with the rest of the work which needs to be done.

@ Marco: Batterien sind wieder aufgeladen. Jetzt sind wir wieder zwei Duracell-Häschen...
ReplyDelete@ N from B: Glad you like the blog. We are glad that at least one book will be sold once we write one... :) Thanks for your support!
@ Müsli: I've kissed the frog for you....! I already have my prince
I guess the frog decided to take the chance...
ReplyDelete"Will she be also a frog if I give her a big kiss"?!
As we can see on the next blogpost, it wasn't!
I don´t need a prince.
ReplyDeleteI´m married to Marco, remember? (hope he remembers...)

@ Alrik: I'll told the frog later that I would take him to Europe. Our nice neighbours in France would certainly appreciate!
ReplyDelete@ Müsli: Glad we don't inherit husbands in Switzerland... :P
@ Berliner Müsli: Of course I remember - how could I forget THAT...?! Could you send me the wedding pics - I must have lost them somewhere... ;)
ReplyDelete@ Agnes und Alex: sorry...???!!! what's that supposed to mean???!!!
@Marco: So happy you didn´t forget that!!! We didn´t take pictures. But surely we´ll never forget this wonderful day...
