Lovely Diani


A great long weekend; pictures can tell. Baobab Resort Hotel is hereby recommended :)

Welcome-coconut-drink.


Relaxing by the pool(s), reading and learning useful things from magazines, like
how to pose...

... and how to NOT pose... :)

Kristin and I went to Shimoni one of the days, snorkeling. Fun to see the dolphins play by the boat, and the swahili seafood dishes served at the Wasini Island were delicious.

One night at Kitengela glass guesthouse


Last Saturday morning, more or less impulsively, a phone call was made to Kitengela guesthouse to find out if there was a room available for the same night. A few hours later Rita and I found ourselves on the plains outside of Nairobi, for the most interesting weekend in the most interesting surroundings, hosted by the most interesting and eccentric animal and bird loving people.

Ground floor living room and bedroom.


Shower. On the outside the shower room looked like a porcupine, the bottlenecks sticking out in all directions.

Way up to the bedroom, where we could easily understand why this was called the Glasshouse.




Sculpture park and swimming pool






Feeding of animals.
In the afternoon we were called to join the hosts for a walk, to see all the animals, and all of a sudden we were feeding pigs, camels, austriches and horses, accompanied by most of the 11 dogs. From our walk we could see «The City of Mordar» in the distance.

We also got to know that we could ride the horses the following day, and we were excited to have a horse ride on the plains. But it turned out to be a short round each, within the Kitengela area, the groom leading the horse... :)
