It"s been a blur and I can"t believe that tomorrow we climb into 2 more planes and get to hang out at two more airports, yay!!! Like we need more!!Monday morning, 5th October we got away from Uganda without too many difficulties and found ourselves flying to London from Entebbe. The day before we left, Sunday afternoon, we spent a couple of hours talking... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=628480&go=bigkevandnell Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=623870&go=bigkevandnell We survived the bus trip to Busia. It was fun to be at the grassroots. Kevin sat in the front beside a huge woman who was a fishmonger. I could tell she was before she got into the bus. The aroma spread about her as an aura and oozed out of pores and Kevin was squeezed against her for 2½ hours! Helen sat in the back and for the first part of the journey next to a lovely Kenyan woman who liv... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=623870&go=bigkevandnell Sun, 4 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=621654&go=bigkevandnell I"m sitting on the bed in the YMCA in Jinja, Uganda. Someone"s knocked on the door, I"ll be back in a minute.It"s been more than a minute or two, in fact it"s been more than a week since we were in touch. Since then we"ve been in Kenya for 6 days and now we"re into the Uganda leg of the trip. We should have updated this before we left Kenya cause there we had 24 ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=621654&go=bigkevandnell Fri, 25 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=619043&go=bigkevandnell We had a great trip to Samfya and tomorrow it"s goodbye to Zambia and hello to Kenya. It"s been good to be here, based in one place for a few weeks. From tomorrow it"s on the road again with no more than a couple of nights in one place until we get to NZ on Oct 21st. When you say it that way it seems like a long time. 5 weeks today! In Samfya we met a number of our friends and partn... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=619043&go=bigkevandnell Tue, 15 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=617031&go=bigkevandnell Helen got the medicine OK for her sinus infection. That was more than a week ago, it"s been a sick week. Neither of us has been that good. Helen has got over her sinus but it"s taken both of us a while to bounce back. The team here has been unwell too.Last Tuesday, we headed off to Chipata, on the border with Malawi. We took Annariette from South Africa with us as she was heading to Mala... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=617031&go=bigkevandnell Tue, 8 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=614761&go=bigkevandnell We"re on the road travelling from a village back to the city of Chingola. We"ve been out visiting partners out in the bush at the town of Chisasa. We were reminded again this morning how the Chinese are invading Africa. They are everywhere, at least 11 of them staying in the little guest house we stayed in. They have their own cook and spread out each morning to look for minerals. They d... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=614761&go=bigkevandnell Mon, 31 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=612698&go=bigkevandnell It"s starting to warm up here in Zambia. Getting into the low 20s I guess. The swimming pool at Maplehurst farm is filling up and the kids are swimming in it! You would have to be pretty keen on swimming really to get into it. But I guess if you love something you"ll do anything to get it. That"s been the story of the last few days here. We"ve been conferences out, but the pass... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=612698&go=bigkevandnell Sat, 22 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=610642&go=bigkevandnell Muli shani from Zambia, it just means how are you? Back in Zambia again, it"s been almost year since we"ve been here. It"s the longest break away from the place in about 10 years. It"s great to be here with the team and amongst some of the friendliest people in the world. Sophie is squealing next door, she"s Jerry and Hayley Field"s daughter. We"re about to go of... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=610642&go=bigkevandnell Fri, 14 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=606812&go=bigkevandnell hi there friends,We've got 39 hours left before we head off to Africa on another safari through our partnerships. we'llbe away for 10 weeks, 8 of them in Africa.
