Nairobi

---

On my last full day in Nairobi I was just killing time & decided to go to the Railway Musuem. They have lots of vintage steam engines.

For 200 KSH ( about $2 )the guy flagged down one of the passing engines which was shunting the rolling stock & so i ended up driving a 80 ton (no shit) german Henshal diesel locomotive for about 2 km, then the points man changed the points & I reversed to hook up to 15 emtpy passenger coaches, & shunted them for about 1km to a siding.

The engineer said the next time I came I could ride in the engine all the way from Nairobi to Mombasa. It was a great way to finish off my month in Kenya, Tanzania & Zanzibar. I packed my stuff & had an early night. I made my 6.30 flight to Heathrow & the layover wait to Dublin was only 2 hours. That is the end of my little blog.
If you are in Nairobi check it out, ask for David the "art director" & you can drive one of those bad boys too!
