The weekend begins with , all thanks to Rinnie , who seals my wanting to braid my hair the very Kenyan ( inspite of Mother dear so not happy with the thought ) , by making sure Rose gets a hairdresser home , who shall braid the hair for , yours truly, the very Kenyan style … in Kenya look like a Kenyan, i say !! Well , well ,well …… the hair n head look different & on a serious note , I won't look so bad if I did decide to go Bald ! Bald is Beautiphul!! J
And then it's off for another cuppa coffee . So what if the National Museum was shut , and we cudn't see the reptiles , the coffee at Savanna Café , made up for this in more ways than one . Which also meant , I had to try out more coffee's at different Café's !
And off we go to Java House . It's a lovely place next to The Village . Once again , I try the local coffee , brewed by them , which is way stronger than the one I had at Savanna Café , but really good. Ruchi would have loved it !! J
Next day is a visit to Giraffe Centre , to feed the Giraffe's .When we reach there , from the two who were being fed by the visitors , one decided to go back to the wilderness , leaving the other one to fend for himself against the onslaught of all the junta waiting in line to feed him , including us !!!! Bechara, issiliye he had those soulful eyes , if he left he would disappoint so many & if he didnt he would definitely be hit by a bad stomach , kare toh kya karen !!!
Tried to pull a few tricks to get into Giraffe Manor , which might have worked , had their not been some major group visiting and another staying there . Never mind , shall make it a point to stay here for a night atleast ! Will be interesting to have a Giraffe stick his neck & head inside our room while we are having our morning chai , sneaking a biscuit of the table & watch the other animals roam around freely in this place , which literally is a part of the Giraffe Centre , and is surrounded by forest.
On Saturday , we decide to have coffee while watching the Sun Set at Ole Sereni , with backdrop of the Nairobi National Park. Interestingly , this use to be the US Consulate before it was bombed in 1998. A very fresh ambience and we made the most of being here, while waiting for Sabrina's flight to arrive from London .
We check , flight on time & off we go to the airport , which is less than 15 mins away , to welcome Sabrina to Kenya!
Highlights : Juice is pronounced as jueeece , and me a minute of two to figure out what the chap taking our order was asking .
And I was offically being called a mix between a Muindi & a Muzungu , after braiding my hair and looking completely different , by the few who met me !:-)
