Life's a Stitch

(Feb. 23)

Given the considerable amount of travel to get here, we added two days in Nairobi to tackle the jet lag prior to starting the official tour. 

The plan was a walk to a grocery store located less than a kilometre away. Sounds easy. Nairobi experienced drenching rains this week resulting in local flooding and a muddy walk. Following Google Maps we crossed a busy major ring road using our strategy of following a local who knows how to manoeuvre through five lanes of chaotic traffic.

On our list was drinking water, wine for our group pre-dinner glass, 

and my new favourite low cost souvenir – grocery store bags to be used at home. These featured the big five Safari animals. Not bad for 39 cents.

We had lunch on the top floor of the hotel with a good Nairobi view.

It was a low key day as we had a nine hour tour booked for 6:15 am the next morning.
