Mount Longonot!

So yesterday we climbed mount Longonot! Got up at 5.30 am and drove as the sun rose and started the climb at bout 7.30! It's a volcano so you climb up to the rim and then walk round it passing through the summit on the way. I'll have to get some pictures on someone whenever i can use someones laptop for a while... The peak is something over 9,000 and you really notice the lack of oxygen, i've never panted so hard in my life as the last like 20 minutes scrambling up to the top! But describing doesn't really make it sound any good so i'll get you pictures!
It was Carmens birthday yesterday so in the evening we went to 'diamond plaza' for dinner. Its a crazy place, there are about 6 or 7 or probably more different places all selling indian food. You sit down at these tables and they all come and stick their menus in your face and try and get you to buy there stuff... but it was pretty yummy and not expensive. =)
On friday afternoon we went to this big shopping mall which was strangely western compared to everything else here. They have a Masai market too so i made Deborah bargain for some earrings for Carmen for me because i didn't really know how to go about it. I'll have to try next time.
Im not feeling in a particularly inspirational mood to be blog writing and i feel this is all quite boring so i'm gunna stop now!
