Day 12: One million flamingos
Quote of the day: Holly playing the sims, expecting something exciting to happen: “What’s the best way to kill my mother?”
Today was a relaxing day - it began with another tour around a nature reserve where we saw more flamingos than we could count, as well as zebras, giraffes, jackals and vultures.
When we got back, we had a rather reasonable nap (well earned, after sitting in a van for a few hours!) and began our quest to prepare a meal for the people who have looked after us at Daniels house. Joe, Sam and Myla “helped” Sophie to prepare a butternut squash curry, and Eddie made whipped cream that was too whipped, and custard that was burnt (to be fair, only half of the jelly was bad, so his trifle was all in all a success)
The pudding wasn’t the only mishap during the preparation however - Joe prayed that the food would feed 5000, and then lived to regret his word when he overestimated the amount of rice needed and cooked double the amount needed for 14 people (oops!)
Eve and Geoff also visited a small church in njoro, which is just beginning to get set up. They also donated around 30 bibles to help the development.

When this photo was taken, there was buffalo to our left, and zebras to our right. Not sure why we were allowed out of the bus, but we didn’t complain!
