So knowing that it was only a short day and we’ll have a restday tomorrow, I just put my feet to the pedals and pounded my way to lunch. It was a nice ride, with some 700 meter of elevation gain, through the lush green area north of Nairobi.
Towards the end of the ride I saw Jerome and Nick sitting at a shop of the Del Monte fruit plantation. I thought it was lunch so I joined them. It turned out that it was not lunch, but they did sell pretty nice fruit juice popsicles at the shop. So as we were not in a rush, I got a pinapple popsicle. And after I finished that Jerome and Nick convinced me that the mango popsicle was pretty good as well. And after that they talked me into a passion fruit popsicle. And although all of those were pretty good, Jerome stated that the mixed berry popsicle was the absolute best. So we had a mixed berry popsicle as well :-) After that it was time to ride the last 500 meters to lunch, but I didn’t have much apetite :-)
We’re at the Wildebeest Eco Camp just south of Nairobi. Its a pretty nice place and they have good food! And it’s near a mall, so in the afternoon we got there for milkeshakes and some more icecream. And because food is a necessity on tours like this, we went out for diner to Carnivore in the evening. The place lived up to the expectations and we ate a lot of meat, including beef, lamb, turkey, chicken, pork, ostrich and crocodile. I might turn vegetarian after tonight....
Great nice easy day. My bum is happy to be of the bike for a bit!
