Last Weekend i Kenya

Last weekend Kenya - Carnivore, Elephants, and Karen Blixen

Friday was celebration that the IBM CSC Kenya 4 program was over. DOT had invited us all to the Carnivore being one of the best restaurants in the world. All sorts of meet is severed there from the huge grill. We tasted crocodile, lamp, turkey, cow balls (only a small piece) etc. The food was delicious and Marissa and I had our first real glass of red wine since we came here to Kenya. 

 

Speeches from Murieki, Alex, and a Poem from Jennifer telling about our tour and about each of us... so nice. Gifts were handed out and we went dancing at the Simba bar. A lot of goodbyes .......

SaturdayAs we hadn't slept lo

ng since we came, all of us woke up early and Jennifer, Isabel and I (the 3 old ladies) went with Rafael to the Elephant Orphans. For 1 hour we saw the 18 elephants staying in the Orphans all because they have been found alone out in the bush of whole of Kenya. We touched them - so smooth on their trunk and head and  so hard on their bag.

Of course we had to adopt one - Shukuru a 2 year old female found 3 days old....They all have milk every 3 rd hour and when their their trainer leaves them they scream like babies.

Karen Blixen's house is now a museum, so we went to see it. 

 

Such a nice house and wonderful garden. Karen is very famous here in Kenya and she has a whole district named after her - being all her 6000 HK land she use to own. Now it is a fancy area primarily for the Mgunzies (the white people). The garden was more than 100 years old and I was inside one of the old trees.  

After that we deserved lunch, where we went to the Momba village (crocodile)  and enjoyed a good African lunch.

 And then for the last time to Masai Market here in Nairobi. Again I bought a lot of stuff... glad it soon will be Christmas.

Rain stopped the shopping and Rafael ´took us to the Country lodge. All wet and with no more money....
