35 hours..

yeah I know, it may seem a bit strange to count hours until we land back in norway, yet we just can't help it. we're probably at one of the most beautiful places on the planet (according to several internet sites), and believe me, we are enjoying! it's just... that.. we also .. kinda wanna get home :)

ok, so, since my last blogpost we've been social again. that same evening we got to know two masaii guys 'round our age, and they were probably one of the first guys here not trying to sell us anything and not bothering us. we met them during sunset. we had talked with them earlier that day, so now they stopped up to say hi while we were taking sunset pictures (of course). we talked a lot, laughed even more.. and it turned out that christina challenged them in a jumping competition. and not the type of jumoping up and down (kinda hard to measure that), but jumping length. now, masaii's are kinda well known for their jumping skills, but hey, our exessive need of competition (lack of computer games the last 3 weeks) made us challenge them. and it was so much fun.. of course we lost, but then again, they had shoes and we were barefoot. I rest my case..

yesterday we were supposed to swim with dolphins (!). we drove to the other side of the island, got swimming-gear, lifejackets and a small - ish boat. the waves were huge.. (huger than huge, but I lack a word for that), so I got kinda nervous about being in the rough ocean with the dolphins.. while christina had her leg out of the boat many times, asking if she could jump in.. that was before she felt a bit sea sick (luckily for me.. it was kinda scary imagining sitting there alone with my snorkel and mask on my head while struggeling to let go of the wooden bench we sat on). sadly there were so many waves that we didn't see much dolphins.. maybe only 5? yet, so beautiful to see them "in the wild". didn't get to swim with them either, but hey.. at least we had a boatride aand saw dolphins, it's a least something! on the way home our driver hit a dog. that was so terrible.

last night we got to know some more masaii's. they weren't as good in english, but yet real fun to hang out with. these guys taught us how to dance.. masaii style.. I laughed so hard I cried many times.. chris and I looked like stiff trees, compared to their funky moves.. and singin.. (we tried making the same sounds, but figured it was impossible). but they a such great people, the masaii's. so playful, and not afraid to make a fool of themselves.. we're not either by the way.. and oh how many oppourtunities that brings us to make friends :)

today we're leaving! flight from here to nairobi, then we'll stay there at the airport 'til monday morning and fly home. we'll land during that evening.

had a fantastic trip. we're still good friends with silly humour, and the whole trip has gone oh so smoothly. thank you chris, for everything.
