Right up there with reaching geographical extremes, like the Cape of Good Hope, is crossing the equator.
Kenya straddles the equator, and if you care to google-map Lake Nakaru, you’ll see we are just about there. But not quite!
John’s watch gizmo, that I have previously described, which is the reason for much attention to our elevation, also gives us our latitude and longitude coordinates.
And here we are less than one degree from the equator. It’s kind of like nearly getting 100% for an exam result, or turning back at Hillary’s Step on Everest. Well, okay, that might be an exaggeration.
Anyway, it’s damn close.
Congrats on seeing the Big 5! It sounds as if you are having a great time. I hope we can catch up when you get back but before I leave and Dad has his hip done. Do you have any time the weekend you get back?
Love,
Caroline
