Nairobi

We crossed back over the Uganda/Kenyan border to retrace our path back to Nairobi. We stayed in Nakuru again and had a final dinner together.

On our final day we stopped at the Great Rift Valley for a photo of the scenery. The Great Rift Valley extends 9600km from the Red Sea to Mozambique. During our drive back to Nairobi Karen, Craig and I tried to remember all the high and low memories of the last fifty six days. We discussed what we had expected and what we learned from traveling through Southern and East Africa.

When we arrived at our final destination the Hotel Boulevard in Nairobi we saw Harmony who had travelled to Nairobi to properly say goodbye to us. He had a big smile on his face and we were glad to hear that he had recovered from malaria. We said thank you to Crispen, Harmony and Francis for all their guidance and work during the last fifty six days since Cape Town. Ethan texted to say he was in Nairobi so I met him for a catch up and final goodbye before I organised myself for my early flight to Istanbul.

It has been an unforgettable adventure since I started my trip in Johannesburg. I have learned a lot about the different African cultures and met some interesting and friendly local people. The overland travel was tiring at times but I think it was good to see everyday life when driving through the local villages and towns. I am excited to head to Turkey to meet Ciara for a holiday now.Leia mais
