February 2011 Trip: Wednesday in Naivasha




























First, Elizabeth wants everyone to know that her sunburned feet (the ones you can see on the picture in the boat) are fine!

Today, our last full day in Kenya, was a lark!
We decided to take off to a nearby National Park, Hell's Gate, and bicycle 5 miles to the take off point for a hike down into a gorge formed by a volcano eruption of Mt. Longonot.

(What the picture on the bicycles doesn't show is our safari van with wonderful driver David Muteti following close behind to be of any help needed.)

The hike/rock descending down into the canyon and gorge was exhilarating, a little scary, very tiring and extremely awesome all at the same time.

Our 24 year old Masai guide was strong and helpful, getting us down and
back up safely. He told us he lives in a nearby Masai village, in a dung hut,
and runs to work at the park (no walking, biking or public transport.)
Tonight we're all packing up for our day in Nairobi tomorrow and arrival at the airport in the early evening.

God bless you all and thanks for sharing this adventure with us!
Lynn, Joyce, Fran and Elizabeth
