... to fix it?" "No." "I see." "Are you OK?" "I wouldn't talk to me right now.") We headed off on the Mombassa road back to Nairobi, only stopping the once for Kevin to pick up some coconuts for a friend. Arriving at the gates to Tsavo National Park, Matt rallied himself enough to have a crack at the last park he could visit before returning to Australia; rallying was necessary, as Kevin had other plans for the car.

Somehow we still had an ...

... of the rhinoceroses, due to a recent near-trampling of a geriatric, though we were able to see Max the blind rhino having a kip in his pen and give him a pat at the end. What I thought was a bit of a bind being at the centre without transportation was quickly solved by my 'energetic' companion, who secured us a ride in a car with some folk from Madagascar. We traded stories until we reached the Nairobi Giraffe Centre, a sanctuary that allowed tourists to get ...
