An interesting day at the tailors

Team 1 went on their final rest day today which involved a trip to lake Bogoria to see the flamingos and nature reserve. They were met at the gate to the reserve by a man who walked around the car and said "oh good you have 4x4" this of course filled them with much confidence for the journey ahead. After driving over some fairly bumpy dust tracks the flamingos were found. Once many silly photos of team 1 standing on one leg had been taken the intrepid adventures embarked upon the long 13 km journey to the hot springs. The road became harder to pass with every deviation thanks to the high lake covering the road ( thanks for leaving your TVs on standby) eventually 4 km later of team members watching out the windows for potholes and large rocks the road became impassible without serious 4x4s which the guy on the gate had neglected to mention as he took their money. So disheartened they turned around and headed back to the entrance. The rest of the afternoon was spent at the spa sunning and swimming in the naturally heated pool.

In the last few days on site an idea had been floating around to emulate top gears trip to Vietnam and have suits made from garish African colours to be worn at reunions etc. this was brought to fruition on team 1's way home with a trip to the fabric shop and then a tailors for measuring. So expect some interesting clothing when the gents get home. After an interesting session of shopping team 1 arrived home to find much of the rendering finished and the roof trusses in place! This was apparently due to Vincent being part monkey and swinging from truss to truss like the most elegant of acrobats.

After a tea of goat bone (apparently there was meat in there) some more of the table tennis tournament was completed with some epic matches lasting several minutes! Several hours were spent outside by team members staring at the night sky on which where so many stars it will be an image to remember.
