Final Safari Post

Once we returned back to Nairobi we went to one of the most famous restaurants in Kenya.  It was called Carnivore and was worth every penny.  First, they served us appetizers of pizza bites and corn on the cob.  We were all starving because we hadn’t eaten a substantial meal all day in preparation for this dinner.  After appetizers we were served bread and butter, then soup.  I had never had a soup like it before but it was a carrot and beet soup.  Surprisingly delicious! Next, we were served a salad platter.  Then the main courses began.  Carvers came around with about every type of meat imaginable on large sword-like skewers.  Our table literally had a white flag on it that we had to put down when we surrendered or were done eating.  I tried everything they served from pork ribs, pork sausage, chicken wings, chicken breast, prime rib, ostrich meatballs, crocodile, turkey, lamb, pork leg, and even ox balls (testicles).  We were stuffed and finally surrendered to our full stomachs.  To our surprise we still had another course: dessert.  We had about ten different options and I chose the choco-chip blondie brownie.  It was an awesome experience and meal.  After eating we returned to the hotel and crowded the bar area once again.  Those who know our group could infer how well behaved we were. J We eventually went to bed. In the morning it was a long eight hour bus ride back to Mombasa.  I couldn’t really sleep on the bus so it made for an excruciating long trip.  When we finally got back to our compound we chilled and relaxed for the rest of the night.  That pretty much sums up the Safari trip, I tried to be brief but we did so much! I’ll try to upload pictures to Facebook but I honestly don’t have enough internet to do it here; in the meantime here's a sneak preview of the safari.
