Kyle's Kenya experience day three
Thu 20th October - 6.18pm by Kyle Burtenshaw
Day three is over and I have finally started to sink in the idea that I am in Kenya. It is still as amazing as it was when i arrived here.Today we had the day off school and went to fort Jesus and old town Mombasa. This was a fairly interesting trip, however was challenging dealing with the immense heat at times.v We first went to fort Jesus, which is an old fort with a lot of to it and was interesting to look around. It was the type of trip that would be ideal for my dad. Afterwards, we had lunch and went around old town Mombasa. Although there was some interesting history to it, I was more focused on what the present state of the town is like. It was a slum town with people living on the streets, crowded narrow roads with small markets and rubbished dumped in the middle of the street. Walking around the town made me appreciate my standard of living even more and made me empathise for those that were living in the state that they were. When we got back home,we all had the chanmce to jump into the swimming pool (I love being able to do this everyday in the middle of October!) and cool ourselves down. We then finished off the day with another lovely meal and now writing the blog and doing the video diary. On a side note, i'd like to say that i'm glad that i've had comments from various people including mum and dad :) its nice to see that you are reading it adnm to know that Timbre actually misses me!

Hey Raaaas!!! loving reading your bloggs, each morning dad is on the computer first, so he always tells me your day before i get a chance to read it. Day 3 sounds interesting going through the towns and the living conditions, must be a real eye opener, this truly makes us apreciate our own lives and how lucky we are. How are u coping with the heat, and have u been bitten by any mosquitos yet? ahh hope not. We are all missing u and can't wait to hear more. Love u and take care. Mum and Dad and Tim's
