Captains Log - Day 5 - 01/22


After 3-4 hours of sleep we woke up got ready and caught a cab to the bus stop.
This happened to be the coldest day in Swindon and being a Sunday, there were no restraunts or shops open that early to offer any shelter from the cold.
As we froze our butts off, the effects of the previous night seemed like a dream. When the bus finaly arrived we rushed in, warmed up and knocked out for the 2-3 hour bus ride.

In London, we purchased tickets to use the Underground train. We made our way to Docklands and after checking in and freshening up at the Hilton Docklands, we felt good enough to grab a bite and find out where the NFL games were being televised!
After a few phone calls and a few undergound trains, we met up with Kinoty's old friends at their house and then proceeded to the Thatched House. This was a Kenyan pub replete with the aroma of roasted goat meat and the bar chatter of Kikuyu and Kiswahili in most corner. I was at home again!

We ordered some nyama choma, fry, ugali and it was better than i thought it would be. A few Tusker's, Stella's and Foster's later, we were ready to dance at the local Kenyan club. The name escapes me but Kinoty and Dee should comment on this one.
We cabbed it back to our hotel after a merry merry night.
