30 May, Monday Nairobi to Tanzania
It is a 2 hour scenic drive to the Tanzanian border where we go through customs and immigration procedure to leave Kenya and enter Tanzania. We do not encounter any problems and 1 ½ hours later we are back on the road.
Willie takes a back road towards the Serengetti area where we find a bush camp with the hope that we will not be disturbed. By sunset we discover that we can see a snow-capped Kilimanjaro in the distance after she took her cloud-hat off – we are actually looking at the highest mountain in Africa and it is quite a wow experience, even though it is so far
away.

From nowhere a young Massai man appears wearing his traditional
attire: robe, beads and stick. He is friendly, but cannot speak any English.
Hugo and Andrej, with lots of gestures, and laughing try to have a conversation
with him. He watches us and our activities for almost 2 hours before he finally
indicates that he is going to bed. It is hard for me to relax when my every move
is being watched, and I stayed on the other side of the vehicle until he
leaves.

Hugo developed severe back-ache during the 8 hour trip on the
awful road from the Kenyan border to Marsabit. I tried to mobilize and
manipulate it, but sitting in the car for long hours would undo any change or
improvement. I felt bad for him, because his discomfort was obvious. I brought
my acupuncture needles and tonight was the night. After cleaning his back
thoroughly I stuck the needles in while being bombarded by Hugo-questions about
the why, how, what and where… the photos tell the story. I really hope this will
help.
