Nairobbery

…is not as full of robbery as you might think, although one of my shirts has fallen victim to the image.

Kenya is really a rather nice place, with much less hassle than Egypt.  We are now only offered safaris on the street, and not anything else imaginable.  They also have beer in cans here!  The taxi-driver from the airport told Mummy et al about this in great detail and with much enthusiasm, so none of them had the heart to tell him that such things also exist in England.

The amount of alcohol available and the prices (in comparison to Egypt) are stunning.  For reference, the conversion rate is UKP1 = KSh 120, and a half litre of lager is KSh70.  We have been having lager.

The price of the beer is probably to make up for the fact that there is sod all water about.  I think the longest it’s been off so far has been 14hrs, but it’s a lottery to see whether Mummy will end up clean at any point during the day or not!  And showers are certainly needed; we landed at 3:30 in the pitch black, and the temperature was 16 degrees celsius.  I wish I had less fur to cope with this

Last night we went out to a tasty restaurant place, in which there were no menus but we were asked how many kgs of meat we wanted between us. In the kitchens you could see all the goat carcasses hung up ready for use.

Well, better be off to pack for Mombasa! The camera hasn’t been out yet as there’s been nowhere safe enough for it, but I should return with some seaside shots.

P.S.  Hmm - I don’t know how the comments ended up defaulting to disabled in the last post, but hopefully everything should be working now again!
