Well, the idea was to post some photo's of my journey via Nairobi to Mombasa by bus, but I couldn't get that done, so here are 10 points that sum up the journey:
You know you're in Africa when...
1. You leave the bus station knowing there is something wrong with the bus only to drive 8 hours before the bus driver agrees.
2. The bus you get to replace a broken bus is also broken and gets rolled backwards down a winding hill road to start..with passengers on board.
3. All the men on the bus have to get off and push the bus to get it started.
4. No one complains about numbers 1, 2 or 3.
5. You leave the ladies at the mall to find two camo clad men with rather large guns having coffee outside the coffee shop.
6. They check the underside of your vehicle for bombs before letting you through the hotel gates.
7. You can't drive more than 10 minute stretches without facing a series of large speed bumps (on the main road!).
8. They scan the inside of your bags with a metal detector before letting you on the bus.
9. You have some sort of a proposal from a man almost every day.
10. Every sunset is more beautiful than the last.
