Which is slightly scary seeing as we haven"t done much, maybe we are still recovering from the farewell drinking session, thank you one and all for removing my brain with a spoon, thank you Louis for vomiting over yourself and making me feel ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=424162&go=kitsons2007 Tue, 6 Nov 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=399381&go=kitsons2007 Bit of a change from the red continent... from the busy bustling smiling nations to the green french countryside. One could honestly believe that no one actually lives in rural france, as you drive through the small villages and hamlets you only see the occassional wrinkled up typical old frenchie type bloke, no one is around... although all the restaurants and cafes are brimmers. The autumn col... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=399381&go=kitsons2007 Mon, 1 Oct 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=397237&go=kitsons2007 This Is Africa. Commonly used phrase to justify just about anything in Africa from famine and corruption to late buses and over pricedpineapples. This is certainly not Africa anymore. Oh no this is France, where a similar phrase applies, usually uttered by the father in law along the lines of. The bloody French! But we have adjusted pretty quickly, and after drinking ourbody weight in red wine... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=397237&go=kitsons2007 Fri, 28 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=394165&go=kitsons2007 6 months ago my tent was very newNow it is rotted, broken and Im blueWe are leaving her here in smelly KampalaHoping it will be appreciated by some shelia or fellaStarted its life in little Kiwi land10 countries later shes gonna be cannedShe is rusty red and never had a nameShe is in such a state and shes not to blameBent poles from Coromandel cyclonic galeThoroughly explored the South Island even... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=394165&go=kitsons2007 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=388804&go=kitsons2007 Did they really drink it in the Congo? They dont drink it on the border, of Uganda and the Congo although they do drink somehting called bongo, maybe it was a typo...Sorry for all those who like pretty pictures but no can do at the mo so its boring old writing i am afaid.

It's mad. All other African cities we have been to pale in comparison. It has all the madness of an Asian city, with the heat, the humidity, the noise, dust, traffic and chaos... (they even have motorbike taxis here - which I adore, and are so completely dangerous!) but there is something more. The absolutely lack of respect for life, you m... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=378035&go=kitsons2007 Fri, 17 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=373895&go=kitsons2007 Its been a couple of weeks so we thought we would update. Having sorted alot of stuff out in Dar like eating properly and doing lots of disgusting washing we got a bus to Lushoto a small town in the Usambara Mountains which are on the border with Kenya. It is said that the mountains are approximately 250 million years old, considerably older than Kilamanjaro which is only 1-2 million years old. ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=373895&go=kitsons2007 Sun, 5 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=368336&go=kitsons2007 and bust we nearly did. Jambo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Having spent a couple of days on the coast in a small town called Mtwara and Mikindani we felt ready to tackle the "short" journey to Dar es Salaam. Mikidani was lovely, lots of palm trees, friendly people trying to teach us the ridiculously long and happy way of greeting each other in Kiswahili, some of you will be aware of what i am talking ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=368336&go=kitsons2007 Mon, 30 Jul 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=366430&go=kitsons2007 It all started with a yellow landrover named Lara, a Dutch couple Marion & Enso and their german shepard Rex. They kindly offered us a lift to the boarder of Mozambique and Tanzania, great stuff as the public transport was looking a bit scarce from Pemba north, and most departed at 3am. So Tom and I squeezed ourselves onto the shelf in the back of the windowless Lara, yes the shelf, so we had to... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=366430&go=kitsons2007 Wed, 18 Jul 2007 12:00:00 GMT
