9:16 There wasn't much to do at the hotel since it got dark not much after I arrived so I had dinner and slept early then breakfast and then drive to Ol Pejeta / Sweetwaters camp to see things. I'll just ramble a list of things I skipped:
The shower at Naivasha was possessed the second time I used it, you know that joke about the sweet spot on the faucet between burning and freezing water? It was like that but without touching the faucet.
Mosquito nets are everywhere, usually canopying the bed. At Naivasha at night it was scary since I could see tons of mosquitoes just waiting on the ceiling.
So many dirt roads that have been badly badly hurt by rains, the driver has to do some next level maneuvers at times to avoid troughs and mini lakes.
I think of towns we pass as strip towns due to the similarities to a strip mall where things and stores are aligned along the main road with storefronts painting the contiguous wall different colors, you can then see back roads to camps / housing.
People seem obsessed with moving my suitcase around when entering / leaving places.
Something about things I see driving reminds me of Venezuela bit I can't quite put my finger on it.
Battery packs definitely op for long drives, phone usage with picture taking included.
Though most people seem to speak Swahili, most ads are in English.
El Niño is making it rain more than usual, gg my timing.
I still can't get enough of the typical African acacia that peppers the landscape. Definitely feels so alien. Seeing a vast empty plain and a lone acacia is somewhat moving? Idk.
I can see why people seemed surprised I was doing a safari alone, the vehicle easily fits 6 more people and then one could share rooms, gg.
How many more ramblings can I fit before we arrive!
I noticed I'm shy about photographing random things with people I know around, or of like the towns and people there in.
Oh, just made it, guess that answers s that question. Ol Pejeta, hi.
