Saying goodbye to the truck

What a difference to wake up in our own room, in a bed, not having to pack up tent and eat breakfast at 6:30. We were up early however to say goodbye to the truck and the guys who stayed with us at the campsite but continued the trip north towards Uganda and the gorillas.

We waved goodbye to them and the truck at 7:00 and decided to do laundry instead of going back to bed. 74 pieces of dirty cloth in total incl. two smelly sleepingbags. Handed it in and did some internet before having breakfast.
Sat there in the garden in front of the house and just enjoyed the quiet morning - a bit cloudy and chilly - but what a nice feeling to finally be on our own. Not having to rush somewhere as early as possible. Enjoyed to coffee before we decided it would be best to head back to bed. Woke up at 11. Shower and off to the Karen Blixen farm to meet up with Malenes friend Veronique who has just arrived in Nairobi where she'll work for an NGO for the next half year.
Had lunch in the garden with her before we headed of to the museum to see Karens house. Realised that one of Kenya's famous TV-hosts had his wedding reception at the Karen Blixen house so we had a nice guided tour of her house with wedding music and speeches in the background. Spent some time enjoying the wedding unfolding before we left for town.
Yaya Centre was the first type of civilisation we'd been to for a few days. Had coffee while we tried to tell Vero all about our trip. Checked out mall, got some shaving foam - much needed - and had a nice conversation with a really cool guy in the bookstore. He was kind enough to recommend a super restaurant just across the road where they served good African food.
Best dinner in a long time before we headed back to camp. Was a bit tricky to find a taxi and agree the price and where to go but we got back to the gate. Meet our ex-guide in the bar. We now have the goat - it was tied to the fence and didn't look very happy ! So tomorrow there will be big BBQ in the camp. Can't wait to have a laid back sunday with nothing to do but relaxing and cooking a bit.
