The first rain fell last night a massive storm which settled the dust. The Masai herdsmen quickly brought their herds to feed on the new grass on the sides of the roads. They used to graze their animals on this land until the English came and were sadly displaced.
Today we went for a lovely walk in the Oloolua forest. we hired a guide t take us around who was very knowledgeable. He showed us dik dik, small very shy deer, that were feeding in the forest.
We also saw several sorts of monkey and bats in a cave.
Stkes's monkey typical of this area pretty little monkeys living in the tree tops.

After a good walk we went to a cafe for spicy african tea and vegetable samosas. Then to Simon and Cecilias old house in Ngong which was in between tenants t fill up water from the water harvesting talk which is very good for drinking, once filtered with the aquafilter.
Then Mary and Cecilia went for a little pamper., while Simon and I unloaded the water.
We finished our time in Kenya with a wonderful Kenyan dish prepared by Cecilia consisting of a potato pumpkin leave and bean mash with a little beef and peas.
