"Is This a Hostel or a Hostile?"

April 5th-6th: Monday and Tuesday

Monday we visited a game park and had a lovely safari. it was Nakuru park which is situated around a lake. we saw thousands of flamingos and Thomson and Grant Gazelle, Impalla, Cape Buffalo, White Rhinos, Zebra, Giraffe, Ostrich, Water buck, Warthogs, and Eland. Also a lizard who nodded yes to every question we asked him. It was a really fun safari although a bit expensive because we didt see any lions or other predators.

that night though was an adventure. It was getting dark and we needed a place to stay. Jenny say a guesthouse/hostel from the road side and called but was told to "just come" so i ended up running over and asking about it. they showed me a room and so i ran back and after geting lost and stuck in a matatu park we finally reached there after dark. the lady who was helping us, named Monica, was really nice although very confused. it took forever to figure out that we wanted a room, for only one night and we all wanted to stay in one room. apparently jenny looked scared because Monica offered that she could sleep with her. whatever. then we didnt want dinner and Monica was scared of Jim and wouldnt talk to him. i think she had a little crush on me though. it was like a twilight zone episode.

Tuesday we crossed the border and made it to Mbale. that night we had a dinner at the landmark wit a bunch of people. it was really good. as it turned out that would be my last dinner at the landmark.
