Today started with a great breakfast in the hotel restaurant. There was an excellent millet porridge and Marielle invented a new breakfast sensation - coffee french toast.
After breakfast we took off and had a crash course in Kenyan driving and traffic followed by a tour of the Nairobi National Museum where we got some good background information on the history and culture of Kenya as well as the wildlife and natural history. We lunched as a group at the Savanah Coffee Lounge and then went to the mall to get our money changed.
In the afternoon we napped and relaxed around the hotel. The birds and cats at the trash heap were a great source of entertainment.
Sam took us to dinner at the Abyssinia, an Ethiopian restaurant. The food was experienced but not necessarily enjoyed by all. Sam took the leftovers home for his dogs.
Tomorrow we take off for Lake Baringo and then on to the Marich Pass Field Station and won't be back to Nairobi until the 23rd of June. Internet service will be spotty at best so don't worry if the blog is not being updated.
