This week we have a three day weekend at our school, so we wanted to do something exciting on the weekend. We were considering going to Nairobi, Kenya, but unfortunately that didn't pan out. Me and two other students went to the bus station to check out the price of tickets and the length of the ride. The bus station was insane, and I definitely didn't feel safe there. As soon as we got there five guys were trying to sell us tickets. One person had a real desk area so we went to him and asked about the trip. He told us that it would be 20,000 shillings, which isn't much, and 6 hours, which is a really long time on one of those cramped buses. We wanted to look for other places who sold tickets, so we left that guys desk, but he followed us and told that there were no other companies that went to Nairobi. I knew this had to be a lie. I found another office, but they charged more money....then we saw someone get hit by one of the buses. The person wasn't hit badly, and I think they were fine, but I was ready to leave at that point.
So instead of Nairobi, the plan now is to go on a hike around the base of Kilimanjaro and maybe to go to Arusha national park. Hopefully pictures of that will be coming soon.
