This is inside a Masai's hut. It's made of poo - cow poo.

This guy was a champ - his name is Robert and he is one of the village elders. That's his wife on the left and they have 4 kids. He lives in a hut bout 5m by 3m with his wife, kids, his mother and some goats. He's saving up enough cows so he can buy another wife - any man in Kenya can have as many wives as he likes.
Robert was on 60 minutes in Australia about 10-15 years ago cos he was married to an Australian women. She came and lived with him in his hut. But she couldn't hack it and returned home after a while.

Hey - it's Libby and Matt here. You must have had an awesome time! I am reading Nelson Mandela's autobiography at the moment and it is teaching me lots about Africa - mainly South Africa of course. I would love to go on a safari

Hey Libby and Matt - thanks for visiting my blog!
Yeh we had a great time in Kenya. Such an amazing place. South Africa isn't too far from sunny Perth! You guys should do a trip - an awesome experience.

Perth is going really well thanks Guthers. The weather is starting warming up and we are looking forward to summer. We have just moved into our new house and it is great.
I can't think of a pun so I will just have hold on until a nugget of wisdom comes along :)
