I drove from Ethiopia to Nairobi in Kenya about 8ookms and was so fortunate to then spend 3 days with Dan and his wife Catherine. I was amazed to find out that Dan met Julia in Nairobi (on her way to London) and ended up driving Julia through Croatia! Both Dan and Catherine’s hospitality was fantastic, it was 3 days of complete rest and relaxation. They have a beautiful home and I felt as if I was in a five star hotel.
Dan is an engineer and motor car enthusiast, he couldn’t resist checking Tracy over not long after I arrived. I was delighted to have a professional look her over but wasn’t surprised when he said she was in great order. Dan arranged to have her cleaned inside and out and I then spent the few days visiting the local shops with them and an eveing meal at a local Putar

Gates to the Red Cross Kenya, Lovely group of people?? 
Normal road traffic 
Great cloud formations 
Normally mean rain at some point 
- Impressive Horns on these cattle
Double petrol tankers are everywhere, often at about 5kph on these hills and this is exactly where traffic police step out and grab you for crossing the double white line 
- Bright red soil in places
- Probably just before I got pulled for another ticket 🙂
- On the way to market
Just one of the many crashes I passed 
- The tarmac has melted and moved to the left hand side of the road in waves. Makes driving very dangerous
Whoops! 
The best thing about Kenya was they had petrol, what a change after Ethiopia and Sudan. It was a wonderful feeling filling the tank with petrol and meant I didnt ave to rely on the 70 litres leaky jerry cans in the back any more
