We're here in Amsterdam until tomorrow morning, so we did some sightseeing including the Van Gogh museum, which was beautiful but kind of depressing. He was clearly such a troubled person, and so amazingly talented.
It's cool here and clear and very different from anyplace else I've been. And tomorrow will be more different still--Kilimanjaro!
The safari starts Tuesday. I can't wait! :o)

Glad to hear you're having fun. I was afraid transoceanic flight would give you a migraine, but didn't want to jinx you by saying something. Van Gough was troubled (cut off his ear, made no money from painting while alive) and over-reproduced to the point of cliche, but seeing the originals is wonderful. You really get a feel for the texture and color statement he made. That was his deal, color; he actually ate oil paint to try and experience color, odd fellow. Especially in Africa, pharmacy laws are different, so if you get a bad headache, ask the guide about where to 'shop'; you probably don't need a prescription. Have too much fun....craig
