Emailing invoices and other last minute work at Bomen Hotel, Isiolo while waiting for the car to be ready. Got some ugali flour, oil, tea, sugar and baby porridge for Loglogo and Ngurunit. Loading the last few things of foodstuffs and then we're off! The wonders of the Chinese, tarmac road from Isiolo to Merille. But Chinese investment in Africa is a heated topic. Now they want to build a road from the coast to the oil in Sudan. What will Kenya gain? At least we're now travelling on one of the best roads in Kenya.
No more tarmac. Me and Salandi in the LandCruiser travelling north from Isiolo. Salandi and Chris "Lampard".

Northern Kenya is dry! Somewhere between Laisamis and Merille. Stuck between Isiolo and Nanyuki with no petrol. Finally made it to Nanyuki. Now it's raining cats and dogs. Imagine we left a place in the morning where it hasn't rained for like years.
In the matatu from Isiolo to Nanyuki. Someone didn't quite think here... The shower just above the toilet seat. Joskaki hotel, Nanyuki.
