Kenya - the express version

Bombay, 5:37 PM

Ok - so here's the story - the travel agent actually told my dad that there were no tickets available on Kenya Airways - so he automatically assumed that since it was a free trip the agent probably wouldn't investigate further. But thanks to Cox and Kings (or Torrent Pharma's marketing team) we managed to go via emirates. Granted the transit time was a little more, but the flight was more comfy.

Anyway, the whole tour was so wel organized and orchestrated - although I do wish we had more time to relax (but that was also perhaps because we were delayed by a day and spent longer transit hours than the rest) - and so much fun. I saw the flamingoes, lions, ostriches, elephants, cheetas, giraffes (very dumb looking creatures), gazelles, impalas and a whole truckload of other stuff! Of course, idealistic me had plans to blog the whole thing day by day - but then reality struck and I realized internet was kind of out of question when they had one phone line for the whole lodge at the masai mara which worked for an hour a day (give or take 15 minutes).

In anycase, once my dad uploads his photos, i'll comment on them.

In other news, didn't really do much all day except have my blood checked and got hyper tense waiting for my HIV test results. Negative, of course. Not that I've been a particularly bad boy (halo over head). And as for the rest - I am in the pink of health (literally - considering the lab sends its reports on pink paper - ok, I know - that was reallllly bad).

I have no idea what social plans I have for the next week. I should book my ticket for Banaras soon - I may delay my departure from Wednesday to next Monday - I need to just relax for a bit - too much plane travel.
