Day 7 (Fri, 14 July) - Naivasha

Sarb got up quite early and went exploring down by the lake. Jo stayed in bed as she had a bad nights sleep - it was freezing and Sarb had the one and only sleeping bag!

We de-camped and headed off to Elsamere, home of the late Joy and George Adamson (Born Free, Elsa the lionness).

Sited on the edge of the lake in its own beautifully kept grounds the house has been left untouched since the owners' deaths. Even their silverware and furniture has been left undisturbed.

We pottered around the house for a bit, watched a video on the formation of the Born Free Foundation and then walked around the gardens. The views of the lake beyond the house were stunning; made even more so with the huge trees in the garden being used as a climbing frame by the Colobus monkeys.

We then travelled onwards towards Nakuru. Roads were relatively good.
Stopped at a roadside cafe and had Nyama Choma (grilled lamb). Quite adventurous really since Sarb was still not 100%.

Got to our basic hotel in Nakuru around 3.30pm

Relaxed, had dinner and went to bed early. Unfortunately, we did not know that Christian Kenyans like to spend Friday night with their own form of worship. The church next door kept us awake until 4.30 am with very loud but enthusiastic singing.
