On the road by 630 oh my God the storm last night was absolutely incredible the thunder and lightning and torrential rain was just terrific

The roads amazingly horrible. It’s not surprising that they are in such condition they are in caused by torrential rain.

Bathroom break place is as is the case, a shop of African curios and the like. Humongous amount of stuff. They should export.

Next was a road stop by rangers checking who has been in the Maasai Mara. Interesting …..with spiked boards and rocks, diverting vehicles off the road where the driver shows where we’ve been.

We make the climb over the mountain on a highway built in 1942 by the Italians. (I can’t imagine building anything in this heat). It is a main route to Uganda and Burundi, from Nairobi and Mombasa. Consequently the number of trucks is extreme…, and very slow. As we ascend, we get a great view of the Rift Valley.
