... was nicht mehr heißt als: wir waren in Nairobi!
Wie bereits vermutet war das Wetter gestern nur wenig erfreulicher als die Tage zuvor, so dass wir den Tag wieder langsam angingen und uns zwecks der Abholung unserer Zugtickets für a half-day trip to Nairobi decided.
was the morning, as usual earlier on Mom: o) reserved for the cleaning of the house, what is worthwhile in here visually, unfortunately, almost always, as long as one refrains from trying to admire the effect will last more than a few moments . Despite the wet weather it is always very dusty and no windows or doors are kind of water-let alone air-tight so that everything will be just as dirty and damp more rapidly at the moment.
My good deed of the morning was the renovation of the house input means hoe, spade and shovel. Ultimately, it was, that was the real goal, a good layer of coarse gravel on top, so that now at the can enjoy illusion future to drag a little less mud in the 
parlor. Well let's see.
delighted at lunch we Susi's temporary Danish roommate and a volunteer Sarah with a very creatively designed Noodle Egg lunch menu, not without us spilled before 3 liters of cooking water because of the shaky cooking equipment across the entire kitchen table would be. But it was cleaning day, so: what a great opportunity to make a clean sweep in the kitchen!
Without cables are Samuel and I eventually broken up in the early afternoon past the barber shop (see picture) to Nairobi, mainly to to pick up the reserved train tickets and just a bit to stroll through the city. It was striking first, as is evident in every 
larger African town that permanent loads of people (and at least as many cars) on the road are on the way to read on the run speed even seem to have a fairly specific target. It is always a bit like after a football game.
surprised I am second, that I was in the Big City almost no Wazungus, taken as a colorless people did, bringing the encouraging fact links them is that even a few tourist-catcher with colorful souvenirs and other stuff on the way to a truly on the biscuit can go because sie pausenlos ihre Dienstleistungen und Waren an den vermeintlich geldsprudelnden Europäer verkaufen wollen.
Insofern waren wir sehr entspannt unterwegs, fanden auch gleich den Platz des Autos mit Rauch (steheni ya gari la moshi= Bahnhof) und schlenderten später genüsslich ziel- und zeitlos durch Nairobis Straßen.
Zum Abschluss unseres kleinen Haupstadt-Ersteindruckes verkrümelten wir uns in eine ausgewählte Einheimischen-Fastfood-Spellunke und verspeisten schmatzend Chipsi na Mayai mawili (Pommes mit 2 Spiegeleiern) und ähnliches.
Ein kleines Abenteuer sind jedes Mal die Reisen mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. Wie in Tanzania gibt es auch in Kenia seltenst Timetables and departure times can be experienced. Although: If you were to ask the bus driver, then it is of course absolutely kick off with "immediate" can mean a period of 10 seconds to 3 hours. The fact is: The bus departs when all seats are filled, so we are looking for in a hurry as a place in the bruising full bus, probably because of not so long awaited. There
speed limits, it only officially, but that seem just like the traffic lights rather have recommendatory. Seatbelts are extremely rare, rarer still work and are actually never used. Speedbumps so-bumps on the road, usually equal to 4 or 5 in a row to the speed limit are more representative of the rapid wear of the shock would be the purpose, so far is worth every bus ride a little prayer and close monitoring of the driving is relaxed travel more of a hindrance. Arrived
I'm still far, and apart from a puncture and fell from the roof and on the street literally bursting case, there were no major incidents. And even that happened 7 years ago in Tanzania.
are pretty funny, the motorcycle taxis (in Kenya bodaboda called in pikipiki TZ), here you can get almost anywhere and in doubt for 2 Leute (also dann 3 auf einem Motarrad) ausreichen.
Ein solches nahmen wir auch gestern abend für das letzte Stück von Limuru town hier hoch zum NEST, nicht ohne, dass mein Fahrer einmal mitten in der finsteren Pampa seine Kiste abgewürgt oder wie auch immer zum Schweigen gebracht hätte. Aber hakuna matata, ein paar beherzte Tritte brachten das Gefährt wieder zum Laufen und wir erreichten wenig später das Ziel.
Heute nachmittag geht’s wie geplant wieder nach Nairobi, von dort mit dem Nachtzug nach Mombasa. All inklusive: mit Dinner, bedding und breakfast. Und weißen Tischdeckchen im Abteil.
Soweit also geht’s uns beiden bestens, alles läuft, if you will, on schedule and we enjoy our time here very much. Let's see how it is in Mombasa. A little more sun and less fog would be quite nice.
So then, soon, greet you warmly Philip and Samuel. Godblessyoutooooo!
