Kiminini

It was dark when we arrived in Kimini so we could not really see where we were going. But Gideon was ale to find his way......how does he do that? He has only been to the Mayer property once before and that was 2 yrs ago! Well we arrived at 8:30, tired of the bumby road and hungry. Ann who is Paul's caretaker of the guests that come to stay greeted us and had a delicious dinner of spagetti, salad and fruit ready for us. Salad you say? Paul being from the states and knowing that we would not normally in Kenya eat fresh greens has them washed in water that he puts thru a purifier. So we felt safe to enjoy. Something we won't do elsewhere while here. After dinner we relaxed in the livingroom for coffee or tea and talked about first impressions of Kenya especially for those that came for the first time. Some were excited to see the random monkey or zebra on the side of the road. And there was a comment made abot how at lunch in Nakuru while waiting for our food, at the next table the waitress brought the gentlemen there a pitcher of water to wash their hands. Different cultures and practices however small catching our attention telling us that we are in another country. We fnally searched out the room situation and got ready for bed. Marjaana Belinda and I were escorted to a guest house across the road for one night as there is a single guest leaving this morning and we will join the rest in the main house for the duration. Adequite place. We slept a bit but not as much as we needed due to jet lag. Right now Marj and Belinda are debating whether we have hot water let alone any water as the pressure is VERY low! for our shower. Well maybe I will just wait till we get back to the main house to shower......... Debbie
