In fact, to-date, Kenya has been just the opposite. The time we’ve spend with Norma and Wayne has been rather luxurious.
When Patrick left for a quick side trip to Tanzania, Diane promptly spend all day at the spa with Norma. After her manicure, pedicure, facial, hour long full body massage, and hair wash with scalp massage, she was barely able to face another day.
In Kisumu, Diane had her hair coloured at a salon specializing in Asian and Western hair, which will allow her to face the next six weeks.
On Norma’s birthday, we went swimming at the Panari Hotel pool, followed by a light lunch in the café. Later that day, for dinner, we went to the Mediterranean restaurant, a terrific Italian restaurant in Nairobi.
We spent 2 days at the Lion Hill Lodge in Nakura National Park. We stayed in individual chalets, with floor to ceiling mosquito nets around king sized beds — very romantic.
Elaborate buffet meals are served three times a day, including fresh fruit juices like passion and mango, fresh baked breads, and several varieties of grilled meat. So much for our ‘African diet’. Tea is served every afternoon, and before dinner there is a performance of traditional African dancing and drumming.
Other than these hardships, things have been manageable in Kenya.
Hi Pat and Diane,>Thanks for sharing our Kenya with us.>Just been skating the kids loved it. Joyce is a natural, Nick not so much. LOL
Thanks again Norma and Wayne. You were terrific hosts, and made our introduction to Africa very pleasurable. Diane says to tell Emma that she’s craving her skuma wiki. Time permitting, I’d like to come skating when we return to Nairobi, and perhaps The Carnivore?>>Patrick
