- Near Nairobi !
My supplydriver Tommy and I have had some unceartancy reg. the distance to Kenyas capital, Nairobi.

...according to some maps it could still be 100km away; judging from the gps there should be some 50km left; the roadsigns says anything between 44 & 25km. Only thing certain: that the traffic is an absolute mayhem ;-)

Though not as Chaotic as when running w. the babyjogger into Istanbul w. cars passing by left & right, together w. Sarah running the thin white line' on the 4lane highway. Or the near-death experience of jogging along Poland's main heavy truck route, some 12 000km back.

- After todays stage my supplydriver drowe us into Nairobi to finally get a precise bearing: 21km to the city centre :-))
Now thats a piece of good news after having slowly battled through the deserts surrounding the Marsabit volcano's in Northern Kenya & the Ethiopian highlands; both seeming to grow longer the more I ran ;-)

I plan to finish tomorrows run at the signifikant "Nation Building" in central Nairobi at 12noon. (by the way the surprisingly looking building is designed by Henning Larsen, from denmark :-)
