I hope that will change in the near future with the completion of The East African Marine System (TEAMS) and the completion of laying of the terestial cable. Ama they just introduce "The Grid" mara moja!
Anyhuu, about my out of town experience......
I love driving, as in totally! Be it in town at a snails pace or on an open highway at break neck speeds i love every minute of it! Before i got my license i used to wonder what people meant when they sema ati they tired of driving!? Wat! I can drive from Dawn to Dusk only stopping for lunch and taking a leak!
Now we wer off to the Valley town of Nakuru to visit ma uncle, crawling at a speed of like 100kph when suddenly at Kinungi a thick blanket of for just engulfed us as in THICK THICK THICK stuff! It was a strugglr to see the end of our cars bonet!! Visibility must have been in the negative but then agen one couldnt see behind either! :-)
So thick that a huge truck would like form right before your eyes on the other lane, one min thers nothing the next a 10 tonne lorry has whizzed past you, now thats horror!
As suddenly as it came about it just potead as we were going down the escarpment....true! It is a Magical Kenya!
AOB
I honestly cant put in words my disappointment with the government intelligence machinery. More than 600 people had to die so that they can send help in the form of Military, Administration police and regular police to catch the SLDF leader Wycliffe Matokei? In 18 months a parallel government had been established in Mt. Elgon complete with even courts in the middle of the forest!! After the Joint operation was launched and most of the SLDF caught or Killed, the Kenya police aired a documentary on National Tv recently, mildly boasting of how they were able to capture the milita without a simple casualty suffered by the joint operation but a simple question comes to the fore,it took that long and that many people for the government/intelligence agency to realise there is a problem?
Im afraid Uganda may take over most of western Kenya and we wouldnt have a clue!

Apart from the Kinungi thing, your journey was uneventful then? I miss the magics of Kenya.
The kinungi thing was an event enough smiley!!! It lasted wat felt like 10kms moving at 10 kph!!!!
That was magic enough!!!
'crawling at a speed of like 100kph'
My Oh my is it a typo or do you call 100 kph crawling?
Hope the rest of the safari was safe.
No shiko, its 10kph, that is slower than a tortoise. I tried 30mph on a motorway, I was pulled over for driving too slow. ('avoid the motorways', I was told)

Nope! No typo! we were at a standstill at 10kph crawling at 100kph, comfortable stride at 180kph :-)
