Beautiful Places - Beautiful Faces! ELDORET & NAKURU




ELDORET



In Eldoret I didn't have any connections. So I asked my friends if they could link me up.

The founder of the "Little Prinz" children's home in Kakamega hooked me up with his former fitness trainer.





So in the end I just saw the town a bit (it's a very small town) and was stuck in the gym most of the time...
Anyway since the weather got really bad and rainy in that area I wasn't too frustrated of doing nothing.
That's the reason why I don't know what to tell about Eldoret...


At least I was "forced" to take part in the aerobics course and muscle training. 








Eldoret is a pretty, small and old town. It looks a bit like Texas in my opinion >.<
And I heard Eldoret one of the best and cheapest city when it comes to partying.
What I've discovered in Eldi is that people in Kenya often have this kind of mentality "your friends are also my friends".
I love that!



NAKURU


In Nakuru I made the same experience as in Eldoret. Hospitality!
The day I went to Nakuru I didn't know where I would end up. In fact I was expecting to look for a hostel to stay.
Even though I have a "distant" friend, called Loraine, (a former volunteer) in Nakuru.
But I couldn't reach here for weeks.
When I was already checking out how to get an accomodation she called me last-minute.

Her brother Oliver was so kind to pick me in the dark night in Nakuru and take care of me.

Btw he's also a point 5 of  a kenyan and german.


After showing me around Nakuru town in the dark and taking some beer we went to Loraine's.



The family lives inside an international school, very nice compound and atmosphere.
 The parents and siblings welcomed me so warmthly even though I arrived late at night.

pretty pointieeees.... kenya + britain, kenya + tanzanian

I wish I could have spent more time with Loraine and her family of dreadheads!
She's such a cool, jolly and positive character.
Whichever stupid idea you might have you can mostly be sure to have support from Loraine!
At least now I know I have good friends in Nakuru.

Next time I'll stay there for some days so I'll be able to see the Flamingoes at Lake Nakuru.
It has been a while....
