hizo barabara kwani they are incomplete the edge/middle lines are missing, now how does one workout your lane especially usiku
anyway welcome back kwa baridi with more snow on the way
Awesome... you did quite a bit of travelling!
JM- yes we did. One of long-time plans was always to travel around Kenya. Thats not me in the car. The main thing about the roads is that the majority are very good. Its a blessing from what they were before.
CT-very enjoyable it was too.
weclome - seems you had a fun holiday around the country. i'm also taking a few more pics and should have a flikr or picasa page up in 2010
Happy New Year mzee. great pics. I've never understood Nairobians fascination with North Coast. South Coast beats it hands down, if you get beyond that ferry crossing! discovered a nice new place - Blue Marlin - past Alliance - both of them :-) You'd love it. Keep posting 2010. NSE itapepea :-)
Bankele- thanks. Looking fwd to seeing the pics
Brayogee-I thought the only Blue Marlin was the Malindi. Do you what is happening re Alliance Jardine re ownership?
Wow.. Now thats how local tourism should be done. You missed North Eastern though.. heard from unreliable sources that there was a massive beach party at lake Turkana.
Happy new year!
@MainaT - I am not sure of the Alliance ownership. Once closed for renovations. One of the two is reportedly owned by Baba Jimmy or something like that. Blue Marlin now definately in S. Coast. New spot. cheers bru
Maina, you covered the breadth of the country. I must travel out of Nairobi more.
