DAY AND NIGHTS IN KENYA

so as many or least of you know that im a young kenyan boy who lives or lived abroad for a very long time so Kenyan time also drives me nuts
since I got used to being on time. I've
learned to not take things too
seriously though, just go with the
flow. Showup late just like everyone else and you'll save yourself alot of
frustration.

Anyhu Got back to the UK in November last year and maybe this year to and now
its time to take a look back at the
highlights of yet another trip to Kenya my motherland after 2more year's.
No Mombasa, no Baringo/Bogoria, just
hard work to set up our family business in
Nakuru,a resturant/lounge/tourist HOTEL with an italian interior design look.., but let me tell you each day is always full of fun and happy moments. I think that anyone travelling to Kenya
has to accept that the moment they
arrive at the Airport then they are in a
different time... It's called Kenyan time/African time.
Once the travellers accept this then all
further negoitations and hopes will be governed by 'Kenyan Time'. Now this is not a criticism, it's just the
way it is and will be.
For me it's so easy
to be seduced and accept delay upon
delay but for others it will be hard. As
soon as I arrive at Nairobi Aiport then
my thoughts of quick and efficient help shuts down. So onwards to Nakuru without even going to our place to relax and shower nKt!,anyhu just head on
through the crazy traffic of Nairobi, a red light doesnt always mean stop. Its
easier to pop behind a local driver normaly called 'dere' in the nairobi swahili slang.. and
follow his lead. Once out on to the open
highway then you can enjoy the journey.

A few hills and sharp turns take you to
the 'viewpoints' above the Rift Valley
and its there that your breath will be
taken away. Mount Longonot before
you with its presereved lava flows,
hundreds of miles of valley floor below you, Lake Navaisha in the distance with
its pink Flamingo edge and then you
are surrounded by the guys selling the
carvings and fruits. This is Kenya! Once off the escarpment and on the
valley floor then take a stop at the
Delamare pitstop Naivasha - it's very good and a great break. Call it a rest
area and when you see the Maribu
storks begging for tit-bits then you
know that you have arrived. In 40 minutes you will be in Nakuru on
the tarmac highway and a great place
to stop for the night. Good hotels,
restaurants and surpringly good disco's
Fridays and Saturdays. A vibrant town
it is a jewel in Kenya and far removed from the city life of Nairobi.
Good travels my followers
