Kitale to Nairobi

To get to Nairobi, we took an 8 hour bus ride southeast out of Kitale. To imagine what it was like, try to picture yourself offroading in an outdated greyhound bus. The scenery would have been incredible, but running the entire length of the bus was a partition in the windows right at eye level. To see out the windows, I would have to either crouch uncomfortably low or lift myself up off the seat. Once we got to Nairobi, it took at least an hour to get from one side of town to the other (where the bus stop was) because of thw worst rush hour traffic I have ever seen. After getting off the bus, we had to take a cab back to the other side of town (another hour of sitting in traffic) to get to our hostile. If it weren't for the fact that every site and face along the way was new to me, the ride would have been unbearable. We made it in one piece too, which is a doubt I had at several points along the journey. That adventure made me fully appreciate the luxury of Amtrak and Greyhound in the states (not to mention well paved roads). Don't take it for granted!
