On to Kikuyu!
Got up/breakfast and off to Lake Naivasha, after short game drive. We saw lots of monkeys, and I finally got pictures. Lake Naivasha is known for hippos, so we did a hippo safari, which is a boat ride on the lake. We saw hippos (families) and birds swoop down and take fish from water. It was quite a sight. The hippos were funny, sometimes they seemed put their heads on each other and sleep! Interesting tidebit, the animals on Cresent island (in the lake) are not native. They were left there after the filming of Out of Africa. Crazy.
We got to Kikuyu, which is a suburb of Nairobi. It looks very silmilar to the outskirts of bombay. We met Julias and Beatrice who were so welcoming, it was very nice. They took us to the presbytarian guest house which is a rehab hostel for orthopedic patients. Its a part of a hospital campus which is very nice. They have nice gardens. Many medical personnel are around. The staff is very friendly, and the cost is around $30 a day with meals.
We rested and the J and B took us to a restaurant called Carnivore, which is similar to fago de chao in america. The food was great, and we ate way to much. Luckily, we didn't do the whole skewer thing, we just ordered from the menu. The chicken was good, as was the spinach that we got on the side. During dinner we learned about operation of the orphange and how J and B do it. They manage with what they have and the kids seem to be ok. They get three meals a day, and are able to go to school. We also learned about a carjacking that beatrice was involved in. Luckily she was not hurt, the police managed to find them and get her out unharmed. They got the car back too. They used the cell phone signal to find them! We shared stories about us too, and it was a very nice meal...we were stuffed!
