After we admired the Kilimanjaro, Arusha, we drove over the border to Kenya. The road has quite a lot of potholes and some construction detours. On the Tanzanian side gabs a few tugs, but in Kenya it was all quiet. Kenya probably successfully fight against it. We paid $ 40 U.S. Roadtax and could go soon. Here too, some hats construction detours, but we are making good progress. The "Jungle Junction" (short year) is in Nairobi soon reached and there is a happy Reunion with Almu and Roman ( http://www.buba-seina.blogspot.com/ ) with which we took together in Central Africa. We also meet many other travelers here: Gerhard and Michael (which we have already met in the Caprivi Strip), Markus, the German motorcyclists ( http://www.beyond-horizons.net/ ), a French & # 246; Sische family ( http://www.les4oooo.fr/ ), Hanna and Andy from Switzerland ( http://www.hannaundandy.ch/ ), a P & # 228; tale with a red Landcruiser J45 from Oman, a British couple with Landy, Omar of Egypt with a motorcycle, Zitoum, a French motorcycle rider, and of course Chris (the German head of the year) with his team. In the evening we ordered (English, French, and the two of us) dinner at a Chinese restaurant and it was a fun evening.

After we received last night a lot of information about the visas of Ethiopia and the Sudan, we start today with the same visa shopping. We went by taxi to the Ethiopian embassy. Copies of the Carnet, Int. Driver's license, passport and 2 passport photos we had. Since they do not cash that had We then take a taxi to the bank deposit and the 1660 Kenya shillings each (KSh) and with the receipt back to the embassy. Then we waited about 2 hours and had their passports with visa in it along with you. In the evening we chatted a lot with other travelers.

Today we went straight to the Sudan embassy to apply for the visas. Actually, we should bring a letter of our message. We explained that it was somewhat difficult for Xenia to go to the German and the Swiss Embassy for me, so said the woman at the counter "so give me the documents and the money and come back tomorrow. " We gave copies of passports, passport photos, from our letter and the two applications, each with KSh 4000 and went back to JJ. Since so few travelers are flat (influenza, malaria and other). We decide the les4oooo.fr and the Spaniards continue on together. But as they set off tomorrow, we need to do now quickly exit (on the border with Lake Turkana's no checkpoint, so we get the stamps here in Nairobi).

authorities Marathon - (Carnet stamped) in the morning at Customs, the two Sudan Embassy (Get passports and visas) and (get the exit stamp for next Thursday) so that on immigration. During the day it is getting worse and Xenia as we are back in the JJ, is clear: malaria. Just as they were 10 months in Ghana. This time we are not waiting for the medical findings, but Xenia is now accepting Coartem (our Malaria standby medication) a. Thus it has a quieter night book (with toilet nearby) we for them a bed in the house. So they can lie down at night and she feels better. Now we are the other descendants can hold until Monday or Tuesday. But they have promised to wait for us (cell phone connection works tiptop).
