So it just so happens that we were in Limuru today so we decided to pop to the internet cafe for 5 mins.
We were told this would be a cultural shock and they were right. Although when you think kenya you think Safari, you dont think HUGE metropolitan city that Nairobi clearly is. We drove through the city for a few hours through heavy traffic. One thing to note here is depending how you view it Kenyan's are either the best drivers in the world or the worst. After leaving the city the thing that really strikes you is the red soil and the expansive land full of crops which with the rolling hills and green isnt that disimilar from Wiltshire, or it would be if the green wasn't splashed with the yellow of bannanas. When we got home we said hello to the two gorgeous little puppies and then looked at the green warehouses, simply greenhouses but massive.
This morning we travelled to Limuru and on the way stopped at the tea plantation where one of the workers showed us how to pick the tea. When we got to Limuru the shock started it was a large town with everything you expect of a british town but busier and more friendly. By friendly i mean someone actually exclaimed in Swahili that "the white people have arrived".
We stoped at a mechanics for them to look at a car and the way they worked is incredible, compared to the UK they work with half the tools in half the time. In the time it takes a british mechanic to put a car on the lift, lift it in the air and take an masssive intake of air, through pursed lips, a kenyan mechanic has taken the engine out taken it apart found's what is wrong and fixed it.
Anyways we better shoot could be a few days before we update again hopefully we'll have some photo's by then.
Love to you all :)
See you all soon
