Road to Karungu

Sorry about the delay! I know everyone was ripe with anticipation...

This entry will cover the maiden trip from Nairobi to Karungu made last Thursday. It was about 400km (250 miles) and took approximately 7-8 hrs due some stops and less than favorable road conditions.

Anyways, even though it seems like a basic trip, I wanted to share not only the changing landscape offered during a central-to-western Kenya trip; moreover, the transition from a capital city of more than 3.5 million to “the bush.”

Borrowed picture of Nairobi's congestion

Only 15km from the capital, the overlook of Rift Valley

In the valley

Nothing around but open sky and some farms

Moving into a more arid climate

All packed up and ready for the market 

Market day! Stands and shops loaded with produce, goods!

Outside of lush, Kisii. This region is good for about 300 days of rain.

Bus packed to the brim with....everything.

Traditional (and idyllic) mud hut with thatched roof.
Seen scattered throughout the country side.

Last stretch until Karungu!

Karungu! Assorted homes and shops along the one and only road.
(Pictures of market to come.) 

We made it!

Voila! The road to Karungu. 

Next entry specifically on St. Camillus Mission Hospital!
