Last Full Day :( (Day 13)

Last night was let's say...eventful. We were all in Mummy Kerr and Mummy Mac's room when suddenly a swarm of pterodactyl like moths/dragonflies started appearing and flapping around causing CHAOS. It resulted in all four ladies huddling under one mosquito net with the boys running around the room like ninjas brandishing flip-flops until there was a pile of about a dozen dead creatures oozing over the floor. Mrs Mac also found that they would be a good substitute for glue when she accidentally stood on the graveyard later that evening.

Us children had a nice relaxing couple of hours by the pool this morning whilst Mummy Mac and Mummy Kerr had a rather longggg meeting about the partnership. We had a quick visit to a 'Curio' shop which sold lost of nice Africanny goodies and NONE of us came away empty handed. We then drove through the market which is one of the biggest in Eastern Africa. Time restrictions meant that we couldn't get out of the car to have a look around but the sights and smells were something to behold even from a bit of a distance!

In the afternoon we had a visit to Limbine Primary School. We received an incredibly warm welcome from both staff and pupils. The pupils had prepared some cultural singing, dancing and poetry. We were dragged up to join in which caused much hilarity amongst the pupils. Mrs Mac especially was a major crowd pleaser, not just because of her dancing.... There was a bit of a commotion half way through one of the dances and as we all looked over to where she HAD been standing, the dust cloud cleared to reveal Mrs Mac in a heap on the floor, covered in dust. We all found this SO hilarious that we all nearly joined her rolling about on the floor laughing but she redeemed herself pretty well!

We then had a flying visit to Elijah and Priscilla's for some scrumptious cake, African tea and final farewells which were, of course, emotional! Dinner at The White Star hotel then home for some last minute packing and then bed as we are up early (surprise surprise) tomorrow.

Tomorrow will consist of saying goodbye to all the boys, the staff and the people who have looked after us over the past couple of weeks then a bumpy- no doubt chaotic- ride back to Nairobi passing into the southern hemisphere again then boarding the plane in the evening to leave Kenya.

It's incredibly hard to explain just what an amazing experience we have all shared together over the past couple of weeks and I think that we are all very sad for it to be coming to an end.
