Thunder Thighs

Last night, after our amazing week in Mombassa, we took the train back to Nairobi. It's an overnight train, that is supposed to take 14 hours, however on our way to Mombassa it took 15.5, and on the way back it took about 14.5, which is actually pretty good timing. The train is ancient, charming, and a good time all around. Save the bathrooms. But I'll come back to that. Our 'first class' 2 person sleeper cabin was actually the best sleep I've had all summer. The rocking of the train put Jenn and I both to sleep like babies, and people came banging on our door at least four times this morning, and I didn't wake up. Twas wonderful. The food was even pretty decent.

You know what wasn't so wonderful? The bathrooms. Apparently what passes for a 'choo' (bathroom) on this epic train is a hole in the floor that leads straight down to the track. So anything you .. output.. goes straight down onto the track. Yummy. That should discourage people from walking along the railroad track hmm? Jenn is very impressed with herself, nicknaming herself 'Thunder Thighs' after her many runins with such bathrooms.
