Baboons In Kenya

---

A quick post from the Merica Hotel. At the last minute, Keith jettisoned our travel laptop accidentally along with what we need to post photos in favour of his large camera and this is the first place I have been able to send a photoless blog.

Apart from some incredibly rough roads, everything has been most enjoyable so far and it is lovely to see the animals in their natural state.

One day we watched a troop of baboons. Two smaller ones were at the top of a very tall palm busy eating the unidentified fruit. A big male, with nothing to eat, looked up at them, walked over to the palm, climbed part way up and called the baboon equivalent of "oi, I'm hungry." The two atop the tree stopped eating and began madly throwing down fruit. The male climbed back to the ground, picked up a fruit and began to eat.

The baby elephants are lovely to watch too but everything is interesting and so far we've had good food.
