Going on an adventure with Rose: zip-lining and exploring

My first time ever to do zip-lining... and what fun it was! The Forest (Kereita) is a great place!

What a great way to celebrate Rose's birthday!

Be sure to watch this fun video of Rose below.

I'm on my way again, this time on the second cable.

... and there I go!

I got this shot of the Rift Valley that evening, at the place where we spent the night near Kijabe.

The following morning we walked in this beautiful area, heading to Mai Mahui.




After walking quite a distance, we got two motorbike guys to take us the rest of our journey. Encounters like this in the video, with all the livestock on the road, are not at all unusual in Kenya :)




Mai Mahiu Catholic Church, also known as the ‘Travelers Church’, was built by Italian prisoners of war in 1942. It's the smallest church in the country.

The pentagon-shaped building has four small wooden pews, capable of holding 12 people. The interior is about 15x15 feet and also has a small altar with a pulpit.

The church sits on the escarpment road overlooking the Great Rift Valley.


I had been here one other time, but it was fun to stop again. Rose read some Scripture from one of the Bibles and we both said a prayer. We also found a GeoCache there.

The Great Rift Valley is 6,000 miles long!

This piece of highway is rather dangerous, with many accidents and mechanical breakdowns (especially with the lorries)

The Great Rift Valley is ALWAYS a stunning sight!
