spontanious planning

Yes, we do need a plan. Where to go, who to meet and when. If you plan to go for a ridiculous trip in 12 countries in only 8 weeks a good planning is required. But... an important lesson we learned during our practice-how-to-camp-and-to-be-together-with-the-seven-of-us-and-to-find-out-who-is-good-at-doing-the-dishes-camping-trip was that spontaneity and flexibility is at least as important. Otherwise we had never had the opportunity to meet Samuel Kamau Wanjiri, the golden medallion winner in the Olympics 2008 ... We witnessed his coming home celebration and had an interview with him. Unbelievable.
