Giraffes and Football!!

It finally stopped raining at the end of May in Nairobi and it has since turned cooler(11- 22 degrees)for the months of June and July which is a nice relief from the downpours! Last week my flatmate and I visited Giraffe manor for an "Afternoon Tea" treat and had a great time. One cheeky Giraffe kept on coming back up on the lawn where our afternoon tea was being served looking for us to feed her treats. At that point we were all advised to run back into the “manor” to avoid the risk of being kicked as the managers waved umbrellas in her direction to get her to move away and of course distract her from our scrummy cakes and cucumber sandwiches!!!!

World Cup fever has gripped Kenya and the bars are full of supporters especially for the Black Stars “Ghana” who are still in the tournament and everyone is cheering them on. The vuvuzelas continue to be a great hit with everyone and are especially effective (annoying) when blown directly into your ear!!! :-( Go Ghana!!!!
