Marsabit

In Marsabit Kenya now enjoying our rest day. I'm using a pc terminal in the post office, and don't want to hog it so will be quick. We're camped in a beautiful Kenya Wildlife Services campsite. This morning we were awoken by baboons in the trees above the tents, and then saw 5 elephants moving through the bush less than 50m from our site. Incredible! Kenya is fantastic so far. The riding has been fairly tough as the road has been rocky and sandy, which can make for slow going. I was third in yesterday with an average speed of 16km. Although I said I wasn't racing any more, on the last stage of Ethiopia, my friend Monty and I saw our chance and broke away at the start and hung on for our first and probably only stage win.
