The road was from broken pavement to deep rutted dirt. You had to keep an intense focus on waft was just in front of your bike to ensure you would not crash or fall into a deep crater.
It was amazing the groups atmosphere when we sat at the border to get out of Ethiopia, quite jovial. We missed the border hours as we arrived at 12:15 and they go to lunch from 12:00 til 2:00. Actually, they left at 11:30 and didn't reopen the border until 2:20. We are talking about Africa time after all.
On the route today we had to wait to let the herd of cattle meander down the road. This is quite a common occur acne.
The Kenyan influence is seen in the great pride they are taking now in their houses. As you can see, they are brightly painting them.
And lastly, this was a sign on the bulletin board in the Kenyan border crossing office. Pretty good... :)
I am so glad that you are in kenya.
ReplyDeleteTo my brother who always sees life as the cup is half full, I have to say those cows/cattle look hungary. Their poor ribs are showing! They definitely need some corn/nurishment. The don't at all look like cattle in the US.

ReplyDeletePS, in the US, PETA would have those cattle owners put in jail for abuse. :)
ReplyDeleteLuv ya, your sis, pam
The camp site from hell and now the roads from hell. And we complained crossing the US. And of course the boarder crossing, you really did not expect the officials would be there at the posted times, did you?
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are great. The cattle look to be starving. The Maasai Tribe mix the milk and the blood of their cattle for the food that the people eat. I would think that and the poor grazing might account for their ribs showing.
Have fun and stay safe.

Love the sign at the border crossing. Surprised that it is in English. Is that usually the case? that signage is in English?
