Saturday March 1st (Day 1)

After the doors were closed of the house in Mombasa and the last photos were taken at the beach, we headed of to the Gender Based Violence and Recovery clinic (with a delay of half hour) were we started our journey to Ven-Zelderheide (Netherlands). At the clinic a large group of ICRH friends were waiting for us to flag us off. After a visit to the clinic we officially started the 9K Km trip. We drove off in a 5-car-ICRH-convoy to Mariakani for our second farewell! A 4.5 hour drive to Tsavo West for our first stop. We "mislead" Julia to go camping near the NP entrance gate. Suddenly Julia said:"STOP THE CAR! Sander is here!" Indeed, the trird farewell party was to start at the Kamboyo Guest House in Tsavo. Nine friends consisting of Elodie, Dipesh, Maya, Sarah, Sander, Helene (read "LN"), Davey, uncle Bob and Sarah were there for us.
