Day 40 (Wed 16 Aug) - Nairobi

We got up and got ready for our "cultural day". Sagini had offered to take us around the sites of Nairobi.

Didn't get off to a great start, we headed to Nairobi's national museum but it was closed until next year for refurbishment. Not detered we found an East African Art and Culture exhibition. It was very interesting and informative.

Sagini had some jobs to do in town so we popped to his internet cafe and burnt our photos onto CD's. Jo confirmed the flight to Dubai with Kenya airways which was located upstairs.

To end off our cultural day we decided to see a play but there wasn't much on so we headed back to the flat for dinner.

Sagini suggested that he show us the Nairobi by night. First we headed to Nairobi's one and only English pub - a bit of a joke! It is located in the basement of the Hilton hotel, pretty lifeless with racing pictures dotted around. They didn't even serve English beer or champagne for Jo!

We then headed off to an Irish bar - there was a theme to the evening!! The bar was holding a Cilla style blind date which was hilarious. The female participates and audiences were getting extremely excited. Sarb and Sagini were keen to play a bit of pool so we left the dating and went on to the Crooked Cue. Sarb played a few drunken games - he wasn't too bad - won one game out of three!

As if we hadn't had enough "culture" that night we then went to the Carnivore which is the restaurant we had been to on Saturday but it has a lively night club next door. Apparently it was Rock Night - not much rock but we had a boogie. Meet up with some of Sagini's friends and finally got back to the flat at 4.15am
