Going East!
Off to the World Social Forum in Kenya (Nairobi) tomorrow. Hat tip to Margo who has managed to find me a room *and* a ride from the airport. Shukran!
There's more. Paige has managed to work miracles once again and find some kind of ticket to Nairobi via Doha. So we will be meeting in Nairobi on the 24th and commencing a 3 week backpacking trip to... well, we're not sure yet but probably Mombasa, Zanzibar, Dar Es Salaam (Tanzania) - in other words, the East African coast. And if we still have time, money and energy left, we'll head back west. All this will be overland, meaning exruciatingly long and uncomfortable bus trips - but well worth it.
So here's my Ode to Paige for working miracles and helping me put off my life for another month.
Paige, relish this moment - we'll probably be at each other's throats in two weeks, tops ;-)
