Josphat had work to do a the university campus in Kisumu so he dropped us (Hanifa, his lady friend, Tina and me) off at the museum in Kisumu.
There was an exhibition building, an aquarium and some animals in the grounds. We felt sorry for many of the animals in captivity but were entranced by some baby tortoises that had hatched out recently. Apparently they have to be separated from the adults to protect T
from being eaten.
We stopped off to see Maria, Josphat’s older daughter on the way to Kitale for a short while before reaching Kitale at sunset.
The landscape became much more varied from abut half way, with more upland/mountains in the distance and more vegetation.
The crops, especially maize, were looking stringy and unproductive, evidence off the lack on rain in the last month or so.
Grey clouds gathered in the evening giving hope of rain but it may be too late for these crops and the local farmers.
Great scenes of joy ensued when we arrived at Josphat’s to be greeted by our lovely friend, Rachel!
