Leaving ol jogi

I have some sad news for you all. I have left Ol Jogi. I know, I know, don't all cry. The last couple of days have been very relaxing, including a picnic with the Empson's, who live on the way to nanyuki from the Weller's house. They have just moved into a house they built, and we had a lovely picnic on their dam, with 3 other family's, all with tiny kidjanas (kids). There was a cliff on the side of the dam which was great fun to play on, and surprisingly high up!
We then had a day in town, where I went off by myself and wondered around town. Amazingly, I bumped into Ameri, who was the manager of Laragai house one Borana, and e met him back in 2011 when we were all out here for Christmas. I was also mugged by a couple of homeless people on the street as I crossed the road,but fortunately used my pace to escape!
Yesterday we went to visit Johnny's step sister, mouse, who lives on the next door ranch, and has a very basic house, but with the most amazing views you can imagine. They have a tin shack for a kitchen, a tent as a dining room, and a caravan as the main room. But is at the most amazing location. They are obviously still developing, so when its finished, it will be amazing. So yeah, we had tea with them.
We all travelled down to Nairobi this morning to village market, where I met up with Sophie, one of the other gaps, which was nice. We went down to the Masai market down the road, which was endless. Hassle, hassle, hassle. It was non stop! I feel drained now. It was very funny though-I had my trainers strapped onto the back of my backpack, and I think at least 50 men asked me "are you trading them?". NO I'M NOT! gosh. Was fun to see super Sophie though, and got a couple of lil gifts.
I'm now at milimani backpackers on upper hill in nairobbery. Its a pretty grim place to be perfectly honest, but its cheap and has a bed. I meet the Francis Jones' on Sunday at junction, the mall, and will then stay with them until I leave on the 15th for the coast! Can't wait!

Until next time..
