kenya safari - Day 2

Yesterday we went to a bag shop in the morning... where you can pick out the bag that you like, and they will put the lining, zip, handle how you want it. You can imagine how my mother went besserk! :) All bags are made of jute and such lovely colours! I got two for myself and my mother got one. We also bought a few for gifts for people back home.

Lunch was at 'Kumbakonam Court', a name christened by jagan uncle, for the apartment complex we stay in. It has a lot of South Indians, so the name. They had all made one dish each and invited us to lunch. The food was so YUM! All home made and so tasty... Thought of my anna the entire time when I ate bisibela bath. The spread was so much, I could hardly do justice to everything on it. I'm sure I'm going to put on about ten kilos by the time I get home! Eat eat all day and do nothing else productive. And I don't even sweat in this weather!

Post lunch, we went to a place called round about, a small market for curios etc... They had some interesting things. Nice to look at but quite expensive. Its quite scary in places like that, I would never go alone there! So many locals and after hearing such horrible stories I feel like its unsafe to go alone.

While we were there, it started pouring cats and dogs... and we had to wait a while till it died down before we could even walk back to the car. We spent the entire evening yakking and ate aalu bhujiyas for dinner. Thats in between bhajji n french fries.... was quite tasty along with the salsa dip they gave.
