All things Oirish and Good times over Easter….

The lack of updates means I have been busy….busy… busy!! Somehow the last year since I arrived in March 2009 has just flown by and now and I am now well and truly into my 2nd year of the 2 year VSO placement. It has been a year of ups and downs but on reflection I have had no regrets so far!! I just hope I can make it through to 2011 but time will tell!! In March, we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by getting all dressed up to go to the Irish Ball on the 13th March in the Hilton Hotel. We then headed to Kengles “pseudo” Oirish pub on the 17th March with our Paddy plastic paraphernalia to reminisce about the old sod and have theodd drink or two or three!?For Easter weekend we headed down to Diani Beach for Easter with some fellow VSO’ers and other friends. Good times were had by all… whiskey boy George, Boy band shenanigans from Alan, Bag Stealing Maasai guards facing the wrath of Raffaella, chilling out at Blankets and wine, G&T camp fire sessions, swimming in the warm Indian Ocean and sunning ourselves on the beach!!! Also in the last 2 months I have been back to Hells Gate National Park and got ass rash from those terribly uncomfortable saddles on the bikes they hire and I have hiked Mount Longonot twice. I still managed to get so sun that my forehead swelled up so much and smoothed out all the wrinkles for a day that I looked like I just had Botox job done…… I WISH!!!
