Our last full day in Nairobi was a touristy one because our flight home didn't leave until midnight. So we enjoyed some time at the Giraffe Center where we got to feed them and pet them! They are so beautiful and so graceful!
Then we went to visit the Karen Blixen estate which is now a museum. Karen was a Danish woman who lived here for years and wrote about her experiences in the book Out of Africa. The movie was actually filmed on the estate which now belongs to the government. Interestingly enough a lot of the original estate has been sold off to create a neighborhood of very upscale homes and estates - named Karen.
She tried to grow coffee here and this was her drying machine so she could ship the beans back to Europe.
Our last big outing of the day was to a mall where we had a fabulous lunch at ArtCafee. I got a Dawa tea (literally medicine tea, with tons of ginger, lemon and honey). Super powerful and good.
This was us on the plane getting ready to take off for home.
At our layover in the Amsterdam airport we bought the boys chocolate. Davis was super excited that we brought him home a giant Toblerone.
