day 19 to home

the final count down

03.05.2011 - 28.05.2011

After leaving Kembu Campsite we spent a wonderful evening at Carnelley's (campcarnelleys.com) where Christine's food made all of us wish we could stay forever.
We were all craving something different and she had it all from beef taccos to fresh chicken salad and every pizza inbetween you can think of.
The mother ship and jicho moja (swahilli for one eye) left for Nairobi on Thursday the 26th.
After arriving at Karen Campsite we all had a bite to eat and decided to go out for dinner for a change......afterall we have been away from civilasation for 3 and a half weeks. We went for saki and sushi at Tokyo and had a blast.... Justin was able to join us for our few days in Nairobi after dropping Isabelle to fly to the real Tokyo.

We left Nairobi early on the 28th morning heading full steam for home. By the time we reached the Shimba Hills it was shirts off and the end in sight. Just before we thought we were home free Boris over took us with jicho moja and we noticed he was loosing his spare wheel..... so last minute maitanance was done then and there.

When we reached Diani we headed straight for 40ties where Pete Covo was waiting for us (our own welcoming party). We had lunch and a few cold ones and headed to our homes to say hi to our doggies.

SO here we are at the end of a 3100km trip cross the Chalbi dessert. Beautiful landscapes excellent company and friendly people......
Thanks to Boris for coming up with the amazing idea and taking us all along. It was truely a trip of a lifetime ......

enjoy a brief trip down memory lane .......
