Visit to the Giraffe Centre,birdwatching at the Karen Blixen Museum and Uhuru Gardens.

I just to the Giraffe Centre for the third time on Friday. I throughly enjoyed it. I brought Triza, Esther and Anne, my three Kenyan staff members. Of course I also had a most enjoyable time going birdwatching at the Karen Blixen Museum as well as Uhuru Gardens.Frankly I thought that both the Karen Blixen Museum and Uhuru Gardens are at best mediocre places as tourist attractions but are both great places for birdwatching.

Has to be enjoyable to go to the "best mediocre places" and see three new sightings.
