Today we biked through Hell’s Gate National Park.
It was a stunner of a day. We saw zebras, warthogs, water buffalo, eland, impala, Kirk’s Dik-Dik (ok I had to look some of these up.) It was really spectacular.
After that we hired a boat to take us out on Lake Naivasha. If you look carefully at the little lumps in the water, they are hippos.
Most of the birds we saw we’re Cormorants but we also saw pelicans, herons, duck, and vultures! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a vulture before.
On the way to Nakuru we stopped at a spinners and weavers workshop. There were some beautiful wool and cotton rugs and throws, but the looms were empty and I didn’t want to take any pictures because artisans prefer you not photograph (and copy) their designs. Fair enough!
I have been knitting away on what I hope will be a sample hat for our artisan partners. We’ll stop at the woolworks tomorrow to pick up more yarn. It is merino and super soft!

What a spectacular trip you’re having! The sights are beautiful. Did the animals make you nervous??

No I wish I could have seen them closer! I saw monkeys and baboons up close and you was taking their pictures and Scott, my host, said he’d get a pic of them attacking me. 😆

Wait, what is the person in the tree doing when you were in the boat? I didn’t notice them the first 4 times I watched that video.

I’m not sure what he was doing. Some if the villagers were fishing with nets so I wonder if that’s what he was doing too.

Oh my gosh, your trip just gets better. The bike ride sounds marvelous. I saw a Common Eland today, but it was at the zoo, so it doesn’t count. I don’t know how you aren’t squealing with delight upon seeing hippos in that video.
