1 August -- Tanzania to Nairobi (by Linda)


Today was a travel day. Not much to report except David and Caroline had a big time shopping at various places including a souvenir shop and at the Tanzania – Kenya border.

Our guide took us to from the lovely NgoroNgoro Farmhouse to Arusha, Tanzania (a two hour trip) to have lunch and catch a shuttle to Nairobi. We had lunch in a hotel, got our seats on the bus/shuttle and were off for the 5 hour trip which was uneventful. I got into reading a book and the others found ways to entertain themselves. We were due in at 7pm and about 6pm a cell phone rang and Roger got a call from our travel agent (on the bus driver’s phone) informing us that our destination hotel in Nairobi had been changed. We could not believe that Henry could track us down on the bus! We arrived at the swanky and historic Norfolk, had dinner at our hotel and vowed to catch up on the blogging. We are off early tomorrow for a flight to Amboseli Park which is in Kenya but looks over Mount Kilimanjaro. A game drive awaits us when we arrive.
