Soggy Scouts!

It's that time again folks with another thrilling edition of the Kenya blog! 

Today has been another fun filled day in Naivasha with the whole expedition going on various jaunts around the area to see some of what Kenya has to offer.

Today was no exception as it saw my team making up for a poor activity on an earlier date with no less than two safari's in one day!, it was a busy day indeed.

The day started with a trip to the green crater lake (although not so green anymore) to see the sights and to proceed with a vehicle safari, with the lake not offering much more than a nice view we headed off to track Kenyan wildlife, and we weren't disappointed as the giraffes had come out to play, and they do make an impressive sight when stood twenty feet away from the car.

And if giraffes weren't enough there were a lot of zebras, impala, warthogs, Buffalo etc which provided a host of photographic opportunity's. The day was off to a great start!

But then came the second activity of the day, the boat safari was a nice little trip in terms of what we saw, but it could have been done in half the time as some of the minor points of interests were quite far apart, so if the attention span of explorers wasn't bad enough we were being flanked by two opposing storm fronts which were about to meet over the lake, which meant some saturated explorers arrived back at Crayfish , which made seeing hippo's a lot more eventful.

After that it was time for some food to tide some of us over until dinner, and despite it arriving an hour late with some of the meat still looking fresh of the carcass it helped us feel a little better after a very wet boat trip.

And with dinner now over as well the evening has entered full swing with the pool tournament now in the finals making for some tense and exciting moments

With everyone now relaxing we all eagerly  anticipate the activites that await tomorrow 

This is Alex Fenton signing off and we will see you all very soon.
