Visiting Friends in Turi


Recently we got to see more of Kenya and had a great time. We stopped off in Nairobi for a night in order for us to negotiate Kenyan Immigration and then went to see friends up in Turi. Having lived here for nearly a year we know that Kenya is a place of extremes but we hadn’t experienced the vast differences between the climate in Mombasa and Turi. On the journey we saw the lush Great Rift Valley, Lake Nakuru and Lake Elementaita. The beauty was astonishing and there was so much to see.  The climate in Turi was so different - we wore jeans every day and we all relished in using duvets again!  We even sat beside a gorgeous fire in the evenings.  Kenya is such a beautiful country and we loved the opportunity to explore somewhere new.   Dan and Rachel work very hard as teachers and houseparents at a school.  We were impacted by their dedication and very positive input into the children's lives there.  Big thank you to Dan and Rachel for putting up with us amidst a busy term!  We all benefited from a short break from the heat.  We also loved meeting more wonderful Kenyans who we learnt so much from.
