Kenya: Shopping in Nanyuki

We drove into town today to get provisions for the trip. Had a cappuccino at our favourite little place, the Boulangerie Cafe, then went around the shops to get our few bits. A certain lady tells me I must refrain from mentioning the price of food, but really, for a third world country, a small slab of cheese cost 10 US dollars!! well, I ask you, do you get this sort of information on Lonely Planet!! It will be interesting to see what the price is in Eldoret because cheese making is pretty much their entire industry. Another export of Eldoret was President Moi, who hailed from that area. We would like to share with you all a lovely photo of a rainbow over Mount Kenya, taken from Camp David today. We had 10mm of rain, a very welcome occurrence in this country.

We've almost packed Dusty for our departure tomorrow. The roof rack is filling up, Tomorrow morning we head off for Eldoret, a journey of 8 hours. We chatted to a guy in town today and as he lives along the route we are taking, he gave us some helpful information to help us on our way. He did say however that he couldn't speak for security along some of the more remote parts of the route. Coming from a local, that is a little worrisome, but so far we've never encountered anything but friendliness in Kenya. Eldoret will get us within a few hours of Uganda and we'll be heading for the border on Sunday as the Kenya permit for Dusty expires on that day. Nothing like cutting it fine Frankie boy! Why change the habits of a lifetime.
