<br />
While in Kenya we made a visit to the Jacaranda Special School in Nairobi. I gave them a present of a hand made Bodhran, which was kindly donated by <a href="http://www.michaelvignoles.com/">Michael Vignoles</a> from Galway, and they had great fun with it<br />

<br />
This weekend we went to visit Lake Nakuru. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TbnudT-IKn0/U3j2QrKTPpI/AAAAAAAAA10/OqeMqRePk3I/s1600/nakuru_entrance.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TbnudT-IKn0/U3j2QrKTPpI/AAAAAAAAA10/OqeMqRePk3I/s1600/nakuru_entrance.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I asked to drive the jeep :<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dd3K5xBoJ5A/U3j3ekMmHlI/AAAAAAAAA3s/so24n33VL10/s1600/ollie_driving.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dd3K5xBoJ5A/U3j3ekMmHlI/AAAAAAAAA3s/so24n33VL10/s1600/ollie_driving.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
But our guide said I was too small, so I had to sit in the back:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nUKlROCYLiQ/U3j2BMBy1iI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/NWruVQfu4HE/s1600/OnSafari.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nUKlROCYLiQ/U3j2BMBy1iI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/NWruVQfu4HE/s1600/OnSafari.jpg" height="320" width="212" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Lake Nakuru is famous for its flamingos, however there were only a few of them around when we visited:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BaTiBuaIvLI/U3j2ORJRpmI/AAAAAAAAA1s/EI_KaI4NoP0/s1600/single_flamingo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BaTiBuaIvLI/U3j2ORJRpmI/AAAAAAAAA1s/EI_KaI4NoP0/s1600/single_flamingo.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then we played a game of hide and seek, I don't think they were very good at it:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V-QuWWAw958/U3j2Qu1muGI/AAAAAAAAA14/18HLy2HelAI/s1600/two_flamingos.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V-QuWWAw958/U3j2Qu1muGI/AAAAAAAAA14/18HLy2HelAI/s1600/two_flamingos.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
After this we went up to a high place for a little picnic, it had a wonderful view of the lake:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jyDeYzucTTc/U3j2DFAA0TI/AAAAAAAAA1g/4ZLVEr_8Wgc/s1600/lake_nakuru.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jyDeYzucTTc/U3j2DFAA0TI/AAAAAAAAA1g/4ZLVEr_8Wgc/s1600/lake_nakuru.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It really was a nice place:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0iRdct9KDPM/U3j18yU1lwI/AAAAAAAAA1I/V2vsCwKjwoU/s1600/lake_navasha.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0iRdct9KDPM/U3j18yU1lwI/AAAAAAAAA1I/V2vsCwKjwoU/s1600/lake_navasha.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Can you draw me a picture of a flamingo ?</div>

This weekend I'm going on Safari with the IBM CSC team, it's a really early start but I'm hoping to see some more animals like this one:<br />

To answer your comment below, I haven't seen any gorillas yet. The nearest thing to a gorilla I've seen is that fella Dominic who keeps following me around.<br />
<br />
I saw this little fella, do you think you can find a name for him ? He looks similar to Dominic too<br />
