So we have now been in Kenya for a week. It was an very long and drawn out flight from Heathrow to Mombassa (via Nairobi). The team and I have seen loads of Elephants at the Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary and have also been out working in the local Primary School and with the local farmers worming their goats. We have alos been making paper of of Elephant Poo and repairing the roads in the reserve. It has been hard to remember the fact that Kenya has a water shortage as it has rained almost everyday but the showers are short and sharp and you soon dry out. As soon as I have finished writing this we will be headed to the beach for and afternoon of R & R before heading on to our next camp at Muhaka.
Today's boating session was delayed by a few hours until the temperature rose above zero then it was a case of powering through the now thin layer of ice to have a trip down the canal. The swans had managed to keep a 3m area of canal open by swimming about all night but seem very happy that we open up a lot more of the canal for them. A mix of Tandem and Solo skills demonstrated today from the Outdoor Students.
Today it was back to Whitsand for some more beach lifeguard training with my usual students. The sun was shining and the water was warm. Even Daisy had a go with a rescue tube.
The team and crew
