This summer Melissa and I embarked on a month long adventure, starting in Nairobi, Kenya. We first went on a 6-day safari through 3 different national parks, followed by a 5-day trip to Mt Kenya to attempt climbing the North Face (standard route) on Batian, the highest point. After this, we had a day in Nairobi to clean up before flying over to the Seychelles Islands for 1 week, where we dived, snorkelled, went sailing and explored the island with some time to just relax on the beautiful beaches. From there we went to Canada (Calgary/Banff) for a few days before reluctantly returning to work!

After sorting through over 4600 pictures, the refined results are below - if you like, sit down with a drink and go to each individual segment page in order to read a short summary of that part of the trip and see all of the pictures. Or, check out the selected favourites!
