Sorry guys, I kind of fell asleep during the journey and forgot that we had a stop in Kenya with me. These are pictures I prepared quickly, which I am absolutely sorry for, furthermore because they do not do justice to the beauty, the luminosity and generosity of this country (well, beginning to learn about photography did not help either!). I hope you will still enjoy this.

As you can see, this part of the country is very green, most of the water comes from this region.

After having admired the amazing sceneries of New Zealand, we are today in another exotic country, Vietnam. This was one of my favorite trip, full of discoveries and surprises. I hope you'll enjoy watching these photos as much and that you'll want to visit in your turn.
