I woke up yesterday with way too much extra energy, so after I’d thrown all my laundry into a washing machine, I went to get rid of it by doing some swimming. Still feeling the need to do something after that Lisa, Elsa, Frida, her friend Emma (who is visiting from Tanzania) and I took a Swedken taxi to Biashara Street, which is in central Nairobi.
Biashara Street is the fabric street here in Nairobi and had a couple of really fun shops where you can find not only beautiful Kenyan fabrics with colorful prints but also touristy stuff and other unnecessary things. We walked around a bit, up and down different streets until we found a beautiful bookshop, I almost couldn’t leave, there where amazingly beautiful books, all the classics in the world and new African books. It was all too much for me and of course I couldn’t leave without one of the books so I bought The Black Man’s Burden by Basil Davidson a book about the history of Africa.
After a lunch we took a city hoppa back to school so we would have time to sleep an hour or two before we were going to go out partying at Double Inn.
