Today we had to drive to Kenya. 8 hours in a bus completely full of people rattling down a dirt road through the desert. One stop at the border, and we kept going. From the border on, there were signs everywhere warning not to leave possessions in the open. I guess Kenya has an extremely high crime rate. Talking with an Englishman last night, he said to close the windows on the car driving through Nairobi so that people won’t reach through to grab things. Nairobi proved to be a bustling city. Cars everywhere, vendors banging on the windows. Skyscrapers tower over markets filled with clothes, food, scrap metal, and all kinds of different things. Here we changed vehicles and drove to Maru Moru. Sleeping the whole way didn’t help me see the scenery much, though. We arrived at our lodge late in the night and then turned in, still sore from our descent the other day. |
