Relaxing day at the mall! Nairobi, Kenya

Spent last night going through everything and rearranging for trip home.  At the new hotel, Park Inn.  This AM was a huge breakfast buffet. Like the other hotels it included items we would consider lunch-ish. 

Off to the Sarit Center. One of the big shopping centers in Westlands. Well the Two Rivers Mall can't hold a candle to this place. Lots to look at. Hit up the bank for more Kenya shillings, another trip to Carrefour again. Can you believe after spending 10 months packing and repacking I am a week short on socks and over packed underwear. 🤦‍♀️ Got socks and munchies...like red skinned Peanuts. I normally do not care for this kind of peanut but there is something different. Something way better than Peanuts at home. Maybe the oil used, roasting method, type of salt?? There was an organic store and they had some dried apricots that were tasty. So have some snacks. 

Stopped for Lunch at food court which included a Chinese place, Middle Eastern, Healthy/organic, American Fried Chicken (nope, not KFC but logo and menu looked exactly same 🤣), and my stop, Chicago Pizza Place and Eat Indian. I had the beef pepperoni thick "base"pizza. Not thick like we are used to but good. Like the other pizza I tried, the sauce is very light and needs a little seasoning. Mozzarella cheese seems different here as well. Overall, tasty but I am looking forward to spicy pork pepperoni at home. 

Tomorrow, off to the Giraffe Center, Sheldrick Elephant Orphange, and the Karen Blixen Museum.
