Day 47 Tuesday February 27 Rest Day in Nairobi Part 2 of 2

By Henry 

Continuing with our downtown stroll, we stopped for a visit at the Nairobi Railway Museum, which provided another informative glimpse into colonial times.

Railway inspector’s motorized bicycle from the early 1950s that was rigged for the tracks.

Train that was used in the movie “Out of Africa“.

Meanwhile, back at Wildebeest Eco Lodge campground, we heard that monkeys had invaded the property, and were all over our bikes and tents.

They are aggressive if you leave any food lying around. This chap is cleaning out an empty yogurt container. 

A number of the biking group had a field trip to the local giraffe sanctuary, and were able to hand feed them.

Apparently, this baby giraffe was born yesterday.
Linda was able to get her bike derailleur replaced successfully, so that was a great relief. $36.50 in total to pick up the bike, replace the derailleur (including the new part), and deliver the bike back.

Tim’s 72nd birthday was today; this was at lunch with Jeff, Pam, and Lois.

We picked up some items at the grocery store for a simple dinner at the hotel. Afterwards, Tim enjoyed a piece of this incredibly dense chocolate cake.
