Rusinga Island tour

To get to Rusinga, Tom Mboya’s birthplace, from Nairobi, one could take da bus to Mbita or fly to Homa Bay then take a van or for the very adventurous a flight to Kisumu then a van to Lwanda Kotieno then the ferry to Mbita from where you cross to the Island. It’s a small Island with very scenic landscape, Eco-lodges and nice beaches.

if you can’t go to the beach, we can bring the beach to you

This dining area would make bad food taste better

I like this space. It’s elegant. Majestic even beautiful

With a garden like this, all one needs is a book, wine and good company

And this space! The least said the better

Kit mikayi

Rock formations in Kisumu county. The guide told us they get the name from the man who first settled here, Ngeche, since he preferred the quiet of the rocks to the company of the first wife. So the rocks became the first wife.

marvels of engineering wastefulness

I am all for pedestrians have safe footbridges across busy road sections. But this is one of those occasions I would use the road to cross the footbridge. It does look like a monumental waste of resources. Speed bumps, in my view would solve the problem for this small market centre.

This is an over kill

Where you live, do you pay to use the toilets? It is important that you do. You see that money has many uses.

Cost sharing for better services

And finally, good and clean toilets are key to nation building. Who knew?
