Lake Bogoria Kenya

Lake Bogoria Kenya

April 26

I awoke early today to get up to the road so David, Simon, Chelsie, and Brittany could pick me up. 

Finally on our way and the first part of the drive was horrid because the road is so bad, but one we arrived in Eldoret the road was just like at home for the most part.  We didn’t take the main highway to Lake Bogoria, we took the scenic route. The road was really whinedy but it was a fabulous view of the north part of the rift valley. The valley is so huge and yet it’s not. It’s hard to explain, but it didn’t take us that long to get across the valley.  To look at the valley it looks like it’s a million miles wide, but in reality it’s not.

Once we arrived at Lake Bogoria Resort and Spa we waiting until we were shown our rooms. OH nice rooms too! Here on the property there are monkey’s and I’ve seen an male ostrich on the far side of the front grounds. There are two pools, and one of them is fed from the hot springs that are very close to the resort. The hot springs are HOT! I mean super hot. The steam from the springs was hotter than a sauna and the water, I’m told, will burn you if you touch it. Supposedly you can cook an egg in the water, but I didn’t have an egg in which I could use to test that theory.

As I’m typing this I don’t have any internet connection so I can’t find out exactly where I am in Kenya. I know I’m very close to Lake Borgoria, but I’m not sure exactly where that is on the map.
