However on the way in north Kenya

We had created it sometime, were reached Nanyuki nevertheless and after I a breakfast spendierte, I said good-bye to the crew. Nanyuki is directly because of the equator, is starting point for mounting the Mount Kenya and is because of its situation a place often visited by tourists. The place makes a generous impression with its broad main street. Many European settlers are to still live here. The Joskaki hotel, a very inexpensive hotel with a good kitchen, I have on recommendation of a travel guide which I in Germany had studied, as my domicile selected and booked. When first had the beard, which grew me on the north distance so far, to be abrasiert. Afterwards it pulled me into the hotel restaurant around me correctly fullly to eat. One can select oneself and watch the meat there like the meal is prepared. I made one subsequently, city-stroll. In Nanyuki there are many call on posters and even on large paintings at the houses to trees plants. Promptly I went, without letting me disturb from the loud music the hotel bar, sleep.

After the breakfast, one sees the civilization had me again, drove I with a Matatu, a distance from 70 km, to Meru. The landscape is one the most beautiful ones in Kenya. The road rises on the way to nearly to three thousand meters and it is the Mount Kenya as close as in no other place. I estimate that there is highest 25 km up to the summit. I went past on my north route here already twice and could see the Mount Kenya somewhat imposed. This time I hoped to be able to photograph it. The view around me was not so bad and nevertheless at all was from the mountain, in the morning on the Hintour as well as in the afternoon on the back route to see nothing. Meru affected me completely like a large market. Masses of humans rooted in the many offers. Although many people observed me attentively when photographing, no humans addressed me, which in Kenya is actually uncommon. After two hours I drove with the same Matatu again to Nanyuki. The Mount Kenya did not let itself look yet. The prospect in Nanyuki a good steak to get, helped me over it away. It was my last day, I still another one day have remained could, wanted however no risk to be received and me for safety's sake one day before takeoff about the flight to 27. 06. 05, from Nairobi to Amsterdam, have inquired.
