Day 60, 2011/06/30

After the previous days events, to say I got almost no sleep would be an understatement! All the various scenarios were playing out in my mind, and incase I did not remember them, I reran them again and again! 
David needed to head back to Nairobi, there was no other option for him. He also said, he was not 100% certain he would necessary return to Ethiopia. He would may just want to go back to SA via Uganda, Rwanda, etc. That would most definitely be a change in my plans and most certainly the safer option available. However, i did have my heart set on getting to Egypt and, although my head was saying go back with David, I feel like I needed to pursue my goal and get to Egypt.  We decided to hence part ways, he would head back to Nairobi and sort out his shock and i would stay in Isiolo and wait for other overlanders to travel north with. I must admit, it was not an easy choice. David and I have managed to form a good bond and working relationship over the past two months. For two people who knew almost nothing about each other, we have gotten on remarkably well and have actually worked together extremely well. The loss of your support structure is a real shock to the system. Up until now, except for my ride from Arusha to Nairobi, we have been traveling together. So, now the removal of that security net is a real shock to the system! Anyway, I needed to now settle in to finding others to travel with, jut incase David did indeed decide to not do Ethiopia and travel back to SA. I decide to visit the other campsite in town, to see If there are other overlanders there who may be keen to travel north. However, luck is not on my side and I am left to trying to find the nearest Internet cafe and see if I can put an advertisement on HorizonsUnlimited website. 
Spend most of the day catching up with all my emails etc.....
