August 4, 2009: Fond farewells
 With all our tasks for the project complete, all that remained was to
say thank you and farewell to all the people who had looked after us and
made our stay so rewarding and enjoyable. We had planned to leave early
for our trip back to Mombasa and visit the Colobus Trust in Diani on the
way, but with some unexpected delays, then a puncture and finally the
very wet weather we decided to head straight for Mombasa. After a spot
of lunch in town, we headed for the airport for the flights to Nairobi
for Gustavo, Timothy and I. Bronwyn and Sean were taking the train to
Nairobi, so we said goodbye to them and to Martin and headed for our
flights to Nairobi. I was staying in Kenya for a few more days for a safari in the Masai Mara and then meeting with an ex-colleague in
Nairobi, but this was officially the end of the expedition.
I hope the work we have done will enable the scientists to further their
research and that the trees we planted survive to make a contribution to
the project and environment in the years to come. I will not forget the
people I have met and the things experienced on this trip, and would
like to thank everybody who has made this trip possible for me.
