Day 13 (Thu, 20 July ) - Nanyuki

Left Nanyuki and headed off to Nairobi passing Mount Kenya en route.

Stopped at a roadside physics laboratory where a kind chap demonstrated the effects of being in the Northern or Southern hemisphere on an emptying bath. Not having a bath he made do with a paper cup but we're sure the effect would be the same.

Drove through lush areas with large coffee and pineapple plantations. Stopped at a small shop where the proprietor had created a really bright front garden full of flowers.

Got to our hotel at 1pm. Our room is massive, clean and dominated by a queen size bed. The bathroom is just as big. Sarb got excited as he thought he'd be able to take a soak in the sunken bath (Jo was just as excited but for different reasons) but unfortunately there was no bath plug and furthermore a sign said please don't use it, because of the water shortages.

We had a light lunch followed by a bottle of wine consumed in the nice gardens of the hotel.

Jo was quite thrilled when we spotted a cat with three of her kittens all cuddled up near the front of the hotel.

Got showered and headed for dinner. Unfortunately, Sarb started to feel a bit poorly again so had a bit of dinner and then headed back to the room. Jo was back not soon after as she was beginning to feel poorly. What a pair!

Both drank a bit of water and turned in and had a quite restful sleep.
