Longonot - Michael's view / Longonot - Michael piše ještě

Firstly, full marks to Jack and particularly to Selby. It was a hell of a climb! Here they are at 2,777 m.

Jakub a Selby na vrcholu hory.

It wasn't just a Ben Nevis uphill hike: there was a fair bit of boldering required to get to the summit.

Nebyl jenom  procházka!

This shows the crater several hundred metres below - we are standing on the rim. Vera said the volcano was officially dormant - but we saw lots of steam coming out!                                                     Tady jsme nahoře kráter vulkáně.

Vera mentioned the drive back. The Kenyans are the worst drivers with whom I have ever had to share a road - and their roads are a shambles. If you drive fast, you destroy your suspension on potholes and hidden speed ramps. If you drive slowly, overtaking lorries help you off the road. Jerry-built infrastructure and an utterly selfish "might is right" approach to road use make driving an unpleasant experience in this country. One thing I didn't feel like putting on the blog after we first went to Naivasha was that on the way back I saw a dead child by the side of the road. From his injuries it was clear he had been hit, relatively recently, by a truck. The trucks stop for no-one. They overtake on blind bends because, being so big, they know that it's the car coming the other way that will end up in trouble.

Keňské řidiči jsou idioti. Je jako čechy během devadesáti let - všechný koupil jeji první BMW a dospělý řidil jako mněl 17 let. Ale tady nejhoršnejší mají tiráky. Před tří tydny viděl jsem mrtví ditě u silnice.
