Oh look a flamingo.. and another one.. and another...

Rest day finally!! Time for team 5 to have a break, plus Alex C, minus Adam who jumped ship two days before.

The day started with the discovery of a flock of lesser spotted Japanese tourists in their natural habitat on top of a safari jeep, with strange appenditures attached to their hands and faces. After the distraction of that sighting we saw just a few flamingos, sorry a few thousand flamingos. Which at least to my surprise were a lot smaller than I thought they would be, and not that pink.

After this Karen came into her own with an outstanding display of off road driving to deliver us all safely to the hot springs. A quick conversion into Chef Karen and we all got to tuck into a lovely soft boiled egg cooked to perfection in the springs.

A bumpy ride back, whilst stopping to take pictures of various animals from mongoose to warthog and dik-dik to little squirrel things we arrived at the spa resort only to spot 3 more L. Spotted Japanese tourists running across the car park in just towels, this strange behaviour was noted and laughed at by all of us.

After "entertainment" from some Kenyan Uni students Karen and I received a lovely present from one of the lecturers (who was 7ft tall and built like a tank) in the form of a dive bomb splashing a dozing Karen and distracted me. The rest of the team were in stitches at that point. We weren't impressed!

We had a pretty lazy afternoon sleeping, swimming and scoffing our faces full of steak and chips. John and Nick even had  a strawberry milkshake (though they weren't sure what they had ordered).

When we arrived back to site they were playing football against the Marigat sports academy and by the look of it getting totally thrashed, as indicated by their keeper lying down for the majority of the game. A brief game of rugby and we all heading back to the barn.

And now we must go as I believe dinner is about to be served, Parmo and Chips, how very Boro!

Night night from Lotti and the rest of team 5 (plus Alex minus Adam)
