Rushed to window this morning to see what I could see in the park outside. Four giraffes loping along and a couple of gazelles. Not bad for a Sunday morning. Cacophany from weaver bird nests hanging in adjacent tree.
Went to lunch at beautiful home of Linda's cousin. Lunch was outside under an arbor - a proper English Sunday lunch. Conversation touched on Al Qaeda operative recently taken out in Mombasa which has caused riots there. Several thought it work of Israeli Mosad. Then upcoming elections in Kenya was discussed. Ten candidates, one of the most popular has proven links with Al Qaeda. That lead to security concerns. 6 suicide bombers was intercepted this last week - fortunately. Heading towards American Interests. The Norfolk Hotel? bombs and lots of amunition 4 apprehended, 2 got away. Now I know why we are staying here.
Looking forward to taking off to the bush tomorrow. Somehow lions are more predictable.
On the way back from lunch got caught up in bad traffic. Noticed construction project headed up by Chinese. They are a huge presence here. It is unlikely poaching will cease while Chinese money is pouring into the country. They have just completed a 12 lane highway right through the heart of Nairobi. High speed rail is also planned. Currently it is quicker to walk.
Dinner at Carnivore included sliced bull's testicles, ostritch balls and crocodile tail.
And so to bed.
