hakuna matata

Abby and I arrived in Nairobi first thing this morning and it seemed very likely to turn into one of those days where everything goes wrong. We'd heard the stories about 'Nairobbery' so had planned to go straight to Mwanza to catch up on sleep and explore Nairobi on the tail end of the journey. The flight wasn't until 3pm so we would have had 6 hours at the airport waiting to fly but we couldn't fly today because seats to Mwanza were fully booked. We checked into a backpacker dive and have spent the day resting, seeing a bit of the city, and discovered that our phone was broken so managed to get it fixed, something that would be really unlikely anywhere else we are travelling to! The city is much nicer than I imagined and it's the first time I've been anywhere in Africa and totally ignored - after all the stories you hear about the place it has been a wonderful first day and it is fantastic to be back :)
