Day 42 (Fri 18 Aug) - Nairobi

Sagini drove us into the city to do some jobs in preparation for India!

Whilst attempting to buy a lock Sarb and Sagini were privileged to be part of a Little Britain 'Computer Says No' sketch. When we asked the shop keeper if he had a lock, he looked confused and then shouted 'Agri! Agri, do we have a lock?'. Agri, the computer, was a harassed looking man who without breaking stride in the midst of helping another customer shouted back 'NO!!'. Shopkeeper looks a trifle stunned. Conflicting emotions chased across his face. Had he just been dissed by his assistant? Had his assistant just not heard him correctly?? 'AGRI! AGRI, do we have a lock?' shouts the shop keeper again. Agri, walking in the other direction this time, shouts back 'I said NO!!!!!'. Shop keeper looks at us a bit shamefacedly, shakes his head and shuffles off to another counter. As we left, the harassed Agri was simultaneously handling some three requests from a gaggle of people!

Headed back to Westlands and had a late lunch at Pizza garden. Popped back to the flat to pick the camera up and as Sarb was obviously missing Forest Gate we drove to Parklands, which is the Indian part of Nairobi. Found a bar which was dominated by Sikhs drinking whisky. Sarb and Sagini tried, unsuccessfully, to impress the locals by playing pool, whilst Jo sat happily drinking Redds.

Drove around a bit to find another bar, ended up at Havana's. Had a few beers and then headed off to the other side of town in search of the Black Cotton Club. Sagini wasn't quite sure where it was so asked some guys in a Securicur van. Instead of giving us directions they suggested they show us the way. Their van wouldn't start but before we knew it four blokes jumped out of the back and started pushing it down the road.

We soon arrived at a very empty Black Cotton Club - well it was only 11pm! The club was outside so you could look up at the stars. It soon started filling up and we lost track of time. Didn't get back to the flat until after 3pm!
