We did overlook a number of things in the Master budge like we planned for 5days yet we spent 7 days!among other things.

and we did not also budget for the pre-visit yet it cost a substantial amount.I Hope this serves as a good learning experience after all every day is a learning experience in life....

Goodluck to the Nyeri guys
