Randoms...
These are just a few random pics I've taken over time around the place.
A ferry decides to load a few more people outside my front door.
Just another beautiful sunset.
My little rats...
...Eventually turned into cats.

It could quite possibly be the case.
A crowd gathers at the end of the "air strip" as a plane prepares to land.
The plane touches down safely and Josh managed to keep everyone out of the way.
The two Mchungaji's (pastors) share a moment while Andy's not needed for crowd control.
Look with your eyes only people!

Yummy!
My lettuce plants starting to grow. We've enjoyed many salads since and they are still going strong! Thanks for the seeds mum! :o)
Trip to Kahunda Rock
A while ago we went for a walk up to Kahunda Rock, a large granite rock at the top of the hill above Kahunda. Unfortunately the light was really bright so I didn't realise that my camera was set to black and white, but you get the idea.
Kim and Abi walking up.
View down to the lake.
View down to the end of the airstrip. The wind pump is just past my house, the pier is outside Mary Jane's house. The Andersens are somewhere in between.
Thunder clouds roll in from the east.

Retreat at Mombasa, Kenya
Last week I spent 3 days near Mombasa. I attended a retreat for Short term Missionaries who work in Eastern Africa. We also had the opportunity to visit the old town area of Mombasa and here are some photos taken that day:

A few days in Mombasa
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.
