On the Road to Nairobi Episode II – Midnight express to Nairobi

We decided on Akamba Co. for our transportation which operates typical coach bus that seats 44 people. We were unfortunately seated towards the back of the bus which meant that every bump would be amplified and send a shock wave through our bodies.

The entire night was spent in agony as the road to Nairobi was filled with cracks and potholes that made the roads look like a half completed jigsaw puzzle.

After 3 hours, we stopped for water and bathroom. I got off the bus and looked for a sign but instead saw a stream of people disappearing into bushes. I followed a man thinking he would lead the way but found him happily going about his business in a shaded area.

Lesson #2: When you gotta go, you gotta go.
