Lake Bogoria ll / Nairobi

Lake Bogoria ll / Nairobi

April 27

It’s hot here in Lake Bogoria. I had the fan on all night long, and supposedly we have air conditioning, but there are no vents for AIR....so I’m gonna guess the fan is the air conditioner. LOL It didn’t bother me not having it. I slept just fine with the fan on, it was almost like home but my fan at home is a lot louder than this one. ANYWAY, this morning I woke up at 5:30 but went back to sleep. My alarm went off at 7am and then I got up and I took a shower. NOW, this was the first HOT SHOWER I’ve had in 4 MONTHS.  YES first hot shower in 4 months.  It was GLORIOUS!! Need I say more?

Went down for breakfast and had Kenyan pancakes. LOVE THEM... Now I’m all packed up ready to hit the road or the lake whatever Kiptoo has arranged I’m ready to go. lol Just waiting on him to get back from the front desk here at Lake Bogoria Resort and Spa to see what is in store for me today.

OH and the kids I’m with, Simon & Brittany Yego, Chelse, and Kiptoo (aka David) are great kids. Well they aren’t kids but they are so much younger than me. 

The drive here was really nice, except I’m totally turned around and can’t figure out east from west, let alone north and south. YEP I’m an idiot here with direction. I wish I had a Mt Hood I could use as my point of reference. Anyway, I can only say that Kenya is really beautiful. As we were driving down here the difference in the landscape and terrain was so different from Kitale. Kitale is more of a farming area, where as Lake Bogoria and down to Nairobi is more of a arid desert type. We drove across the Great Rift Valley and then up the mountain to the plateau and then on into Nairobi.

Now tonight here in Nairobi we are at Bishop Yego’s home. It’s a really nice place, and it’s really big. Well it’s big compared to my house in Vancouver.  For dinner we had chicken and chips (french fries), pizza, and a avocado tomato salad. YUM-O. Needless to say I ate my fill.  Tomorrow we leave here at 9am and we are off to Mombasa. I’m excited about going to Mombasa. We will be in Mombasa for 3 nights and then we come back to Nairobi for one night. Then we are at Masai Mara for 2 nights.  This is so cool because I get to see all of Kenya while I’m here.  After I get back to Kitale, I’ll be going back to Lake Bogoria with the 5th grade and then Kisumu/Lake Victoria with the 6th grade. 

If you ever have a chance to come to Kenya, COME you will not regret it.
