Outreach program
DAY TWO
Got up at 7 am and ate at the same restaurant we ate at for yesterday's lunch and dinner. We then drove off to Naivasha for a stunning bike ride. It was practically a bike safari at Hell's Gate. We were biking on a dirt road in between open fields and hills with all African wildlife, except we didn't see elephants or lions, but we were feet away from zebras and giraffes! In the middle of the ride we stopped at a protruding rock known as pride rock from the one and only Lion King! We got off our bikes, took our cameras, and the stuffed Simba a few volunteers bought and climbed up pride rock! We accidentally went off the path which made us hike on the edge of the rock and hold onto the tall grass, but we finally made it to the top! We took a few photos of each person pretended we were in the scene in lion king when Mufasa holds us his baby cub, Simba. It was a great moment. Really making my childhood even better.
We continued on the ride and ended up at Hell's Gate for a gorgeous hike. Beautiful day, great exercise, all wonderful. We then headed back the way we came, but instead of going slightly downhill most of the time, we had to go slightly uphill. It was challenging, but it was fine, after all, I am a spin instructor!
My little lunch consisted of 2 nature valley bars and an apple. Yum. The next part of the day was held for the safari boat ride but i had already done that and the rest of my van didn't want to go so our van headed back to Nairobi.
I spent a few minutes at junction for internet then headed back to the volunteer house at 5:30. When I got there, all the girls were looking all clean and pretty ready to go out to a restaurant called Carnivore. Everyone was going and the cab was going in 30 minutes. I showered quickly and got my dress on and off we went. I didn't particularly want to go because it's an all you can eat meat restaurant and it's super expensive, but everyone was going so I didn't want to exclude myself. I got the vegetarian pizza option while massive pieces of different kinds of meat were in my face. Yum. I had this delicious drink called dawa, medicine, made of sugar, honey, lime, vodka, and ice. We headed home, tired and ready for bed.
