- Day 186 – The Wheels Are Falling OffThe sweet tones of our ten dollar mobile phone rang a pre-dawn chorus and roused us all too suddenly from what had been a fair night’s slumber. It was five thirty and it was still very dark. There was a Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Apr 4, 2012
- Day 185 – Bloody Brilliant FunThe room in the mission had been a comfortable one, but it was there that we experienced the first effects of living in an atmosphere hazed permanently by dust. Our bogeys were the colour of the ground, our hair had Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Apr 2, 2012
- Day 183-184 – Leaving Lian and the Road NorthLian had been heaven sent.

- Day 182 – Bandits or not, we're leaving KenyaThere are two routes out of Kenya into Ethiopia one travels through Turkana country up alongside Lake Turkana.

- Day 181 – “You’ll Need to Speak With the Warden” We woke before sunrise to make the most of our last safari.

- Day 180 – Sleeping With The MaasaiWe left Crater Lake to enter our first and sadly last Kenyan National Park.

- Day 172-177– Damned DHL and Two Hour VisasThe ensuing ten days were spent in the luxury of Lian’s house whilst calling DHL Nairobi, the Ethiopian Embassy in London and DHL UK.

- Day 171 – A Spot of Croquet? Hangovers and bleary eyes led to fresh coffee and American pancakes prepared by TJ. But what better to cure a hangover than more gin and tonic and a lunchtime game of croquet? Fulfilling every requisite of colonials abroad we stood Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Mar 23, 2012
- Day 170 – Ex-Patriot GamesWe enjoyed one more leisurely morning before the effects of our austerity cuts were to be felt. (We’d bought all our nice food the day before.)

- Day 14-16: Unexpected Day in NiarobiWe started our journey on Thursday, March 15th.

- Day 169 – The Budget ReviewBefore we made plans for traversing bandit riddled landscapes and dodging their rusty AK-47s and Martini-Henri rifles we needed Ethiopian visas and like good little boys and girls we headed straight to the DHL office at the western style mall Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Mar 21, 2012
- Day 168 – Looking like IdiotsOur most straightforward border yet traversed us from a land of painfully annoying cops with new toys and an attitude to match, to a land of extremely pleasant cops without the toys and with a far more pleasant disposition all Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Mar 21, 2012

- Day 6-7: Getting through the grindThe days are now starting to get a little more routine. Last night (Tues) was karaoke night. Fascinating! Packed with Kenyan’s singing American power ballads.
