Yesterday we crossed back into Kenya and stayed at Greenwood’s lodge. An impromptu game of football broke out, which quickly became World XI vs. Kenya. It was one of those beautiful experiences where you realise you’re just a group of completely random humans who happen to have congregated in the same small patch of the world, and yet we can all quickly organise into a game of football, and everyone understands it and enjoys it. Someone had the brilliant idea of grabbing a few beers, and the post game beers were extra satisfying. We set up our tents, and sat down for a buffet dinner. Even though it wasn’t the end of the tour, our tour guide made a speech and we all went around the room and shared our favourite part of the trip. It was a great moment that brought together different perspectives of the trip.

The next morning we packed up and drove back to Nairobi. We did pub trivia to pass the time, and Sadhbh and Chlöe ran a competition across the different crisps you can get in Africa. Back at the accommodation, I had a nap in the afternoon and sat by the pool. At night we went out for a final dinner together at Carnivore and then to a bar (The Alchemist). It was a fun night with lots of drinking and dancing - a great way to end this leg of the tour. There were of course a few wounded soldiers the next morning, with some barely managing to get up in time to make the bus ride. A few were finishing up their leg of the tour today, but most of us were continuing on, eventually to Zanzibar.
