Camp!

On Sunday I am going on a peer educators camp, (yes I know you are saying, you are not a peer educator) I thought the same thing but they are keen for me to go as the whole idea of the thing is bringing together young people from different backgrounds to share ideas and have fun. So there are people coming from Kisumu, Mombassa, Nairobi and other areas. We are going to Lake Bogoria Game Park. On Wednesday I went with some other Red crossers, Masalam, Harrison, Sly, Mary, Ben and Botto the driver to asses the possible campsites. I was not too keen on going but John, the youth officer who has organized the programme for the things that I will be doing while I am her insisted. So off we went and how pleased was I that I did! The lake has hot water springs and flamingoes; it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in the world. To get there was such an adventure, as once in the park what is termed as a ‘road’ goes down dramatically in standard! The car is going up and down and we are clinging to eachother to stay put! Especially once the seat was loose! The fist campsite was great! If you can call it a campsite really, it was just a patch of jungle. There was NO flat place to pitch tent, no toilet, no running water or cooking area, but what there was… wow, huge trees with vines like in Tarzan, rocks, fresh water running over rocks… the sence of adventure was fab, a completely unforgettable place to go. I am hoping that we go there, but is does depend on us having enough tents, there are 73 people going, and if we can get a vehicle which can pass there. Bear in mind it involves literally going through bushes. But Im hoping!
