Stepping off the plane in Nairobi, Kenya created a different
variety of emotions among the entire squad. A few people were crying while
others had mixed emotions of nervousness and being tired. It is now the 6th
month into the race; a huge part of the emotions we are experiencing is the
pure exhaustion of the race and then the great unknown of Africa.
Thankfully, the first week in Africa was a time of debrief.
During this time we were with the entire squad and it was a time of relaxation.
We stayed at Milimani Backpackers Hostel, which was amazing. Once arriving at
the hostel we were greeted with a huge welcoming sign. We were greeted with smiling
faces and sincere hearts.
I would recommend staying at this hostel for anyone staying
in Nairobi. The atmosphere is very relaxing with cozy room accommodations and a
cozy fireplace outside in the dining area. All I need is a few gram crackers, a
chocolate bar, and two huge marshmallows to created a delicious s’more.
