Monday 3 March 2008 (day 3, Nairobi)

We woke up early with the best intentions of leaving town.  Stanley had noticed two of the shocks leaking after the road from Tsavo. Monday morning Stanley took the car to the garage. Niels and Julia went to the IAVI office to finish some administrative tasks.  11:30 we were ready to go.  One last task of getting cash from the ATM.  Stanley got money from the Euro account and then Julia went for the US account.  Inserted the card and…  "Your card has been retained"….  Arghhh. The guys with the keys for the ATM weren't able to make it until 5pm.  We had no choice but to wait.  Turned out not to be so bad.  It gave us a chance to rearrange the car, rest up and raid Helen's fridge for one more day.
