Kenya: Nanyuki (Camp David).

Thursday 26th March Camp David, Nanyuki:

Stayed at Camp David today. As we are garaging Dusty for 3 months, we needed to ensure everything was in order. After sorting out our personal stuff, we emptied and cleaned the fridge, taking the lid off as well so we don’t return to a bad odour. We then took it to the Camp David workshop where there is a pit and gave it a thorough inspection underneath.

We’re happy to report that everything is exactly as it should be so we then disconnected both batteries and made sure we had all our documentation to get us out of the country. To get it into the garage, we had to remove all the extras we carried on the roof rack, such as spare wheel, gas cylinder and both jerry cans of diesel. We relocated all except the spare wheel inside the disco, for the storage.

 Due to the severe water shortage, Dusty will remain very dusty for the next few months, as you can see from this photo.

After that, John had to do a few jobs around the house and then Pauline (the cook) prepared the most delicious chicken curry. We’ve been spoiled for the last 8 days with all her culinary skills. 

It was a most relaxing stay and much needed relaxation after our 32 days on the road. John & I would like to extend a very special thank you to Mindy for the wonderful Camp David hospitality. See you in June for the return leg! And, we both hope the rains arrive soon to fill the dams and water tanks.
