I have it finally, my bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unpacking

The rest of the dream team - everything for the photo!

It took so long with the motorbike that it was getting dark.

In the dark I was not prepare to:
- driving on the left side (I ussually ride on the right)
- driving at night through the center of 'Nairobbery'

So I made a decision in seconds - to drive south from Nairobi.

I stopped at some gas station soon and after then I drove 
at night for some 50 km on 'some kind of highway'.
The traffic was crazy.

After the trafiic became silent
I stopped at some village for a beer.
The bar was full and very local.
I didn't stay for long cause some people were
pretty obvious on drugs, so I moved further.

My first night with motorbike in Kenya - stopping at Isignia.

My hotel room keys, a bill, matches, tusker, embassy, yamaha keys.
