Another trip with "The Norwegian Compound," this time to Lake Magadi, a soda lake close to the Tanzanian border.
Heading south from Nairobi, we first visited Olorgesailie, a prehistoric site run by the National Museums of Kenya.
After a short guided tour of watching old handtools and excavations, in addition to the beaded goods of the Maasai women, we moved on to the lake and the hot springs.
The scenery was really beautiful, so we stopped the cars several times to immortalize the view of the lake and the pink and pretty flamingoes.
A guard showed us where to find the hot spring pool.
Algaes made the bottom very slippery, but since local people and guards have a medicinal bath every day, there was a narrow path where one could walk safely to the pool.
When the air temperature is 38 degrees Celcius in the shade, a hot water bath isn`t really refreshing, but it sure was relaxing and felt very good!
