Desperately trying to remain unsullied by Conrad’s imagination of central Africa, I’m heading inland to trawl the Masai Mara for impressive beasts with Sharath and Sorcha and a few other O’Callavasan 2007 stragglers. It’s quite something being able to accompany the bride and groom on the beginning of their honeymoon. I’ll be back and battling Nairobi later next week, back and online and battling the airwaves.
In the meantime, here’s a glimpse of Shella, a place where miniature donkeys act as lorries and taxis.
The fruit is marvellous, so marvellous that the most successful local businessman is called Banana and Watermelon passes as a legitimate name for an electoral candidate. A polyglot charlatan savant answering to the appellation Dude holds frequent and tyrannical court and Gastro-Rasta performance pieces, fusing dance and cooking, are not unknown.

My God, miniature donkeys would have be my number 1 animal to see. I love donkeys, but mini versions of anything are that much more exciting. Did you know pure-bred miniature donkeys sell for $6000 a piece?
That last line there sounds awfully like sun stroke ravings.. hope your fair beauty is surviving all that soleil there. x
