Day 10 – Rongai to Lake Nakuru

I had breakfast with Imogen and Megan before. Imogen very kindly drove me to the spot where I finished a few days earlier. A real treat as today I didn’t need my backpack as Tristan and Imogen had very kindly offered me another night at Deloraine House so the plan was to run down to Lake Nakuru and then grab a bus back. All very simple the problem was that my ankle had still not healed. So it was quite painful at times to run but managed to get on a quiet dirt track for 10 km before heading onto the main road. I wanted to get this one over and done with asap, there was little to report in terms of excitement along the way I’m afraid, but clocked 40 odd km to Nakuru before I headed back for lunch.

After a crazy scooter ride up to Deloraine house, I got a quick shower in, before Imogen and Tristan insisted I had more lunch. After running a near marathon the offer of an evening horse ride was too much to refuse so Megan and Imogen took me and the other guest, Liz and Jay, out down the valley for one final ride it has been such a treat been here riding with the girls in the evenings. Again a feast was prepared for us and what a final supper it was to finish my time here. A quick icing of the ankle and then bed, down to Lake Elementaita tomorrow, hopefully, the ankle will be OK.
