Day 14 (Fri, 21 July) - Nairobi

Got up at 7am ready to be picked up at 8.30am by Joshua.

Had breakfast with some German charity workers who advised us not to bother with the Nairobi National Park as it was very expensive for what was on show.

Waited for Joshua. And waited. He eventually pitched up at about 11.30am. Apparently he'd been working the previous night and most of the morning to organise the remainder of the trip as it had not been done.

Anyway, we loaded up and then drove around Nairobi for a bit, during which time we met up with a cook that Joshua had managed to rustle up the night before and Sarb got some more cash. The cook's name is Issa.

After stopping off to get loads of water and other supplies we finally set off for Tsavo through the heavy Nairobi traffic.

Tsavo is on the Nairobi to Mombasa main road so this is a major bonus ie. it is highly likely that the roads will be surfaced.

However as we left it so late to leave Nairobi the Tsavo park would be shut by the time we got there and so Joshua stopped at a place called Voi where he bundled us into quite a comfortable little hotel.

Jo and I had a very nice dinner (we were starving on account of not eating much the night before), watched a bit of tv and fell into a blissful slumber.
