I’ve been bitten by a spider on my leg and now its gone gooey. Ohh the pain! I’m hobbling around feeling very silly indeed. Still there are less interesting injuries to sustain. Don’t worry I’m not about to post pics, too gruesome. I’m just back in Nairobi from another Mountain trip. We still need rain in many parts of the country. I’m happy despite the gammy leg because things are coming together for my plans to spend less time in Nairoibi and more on and around Mount Kenya! Woo Hoo! All the driving on my own is pretty exhasting but though I’ll still have to do it fairly regularly I’m hoping not quite as often.  Thought I’d post a couple of pics from recent trips and adventures!  The first is lake Rutundu high up on the Northern Side of the Mountain and absolutely stunning. Our Marania wildlife guards patrol this area and the area below down into the forest line. There are beautiful fishing cabins up there which was where I was staying when I took the picture. It has to be one of the most peaceful places on earth. .
