Last night at Wundanyi

Tuesday

Today was the last day of our stay here in Taita. After the everyday morning routine, eating breakfast, packing our bags etc the bus took us up the hill for one last visit to the Canon Kituri Secondary School were we today, for the first time, we actually got to attend to their classes!

One lesson is 40 minutes long and they have 2 of these 40min lessons a time. Then they get a 15min break, followed by the next ”pair” of lessons. All of us got to attend to 4 of these lessons, visiting which ever class wanted. Speaking on behalf of ourselves, we experienced the lessons quite ineffective and low standard, but in general it felt great to see what a standard leveled school in Kenya really is like.

After the school visit we headed out to the rainforest, there we saw a lot of different endangered species and plants. After all it looked a lot like a Finnish forest and not as exotic as we thought, although we saw a mother-tree and some monkeys. We walked about an hour in the rainforest until we stopped to rest on a cliff with a beautiful view of the whole valley below. After a short brake we headed back to the bus and drove back to our headquarters.

Later some of us visited an old cave that was used by the freedom fighters during Kenyas independence war just down the road. For example Kenyas first president stayed there hiding back in the day.

We have a long trip ahead of us tomorrow driving back to Nairobi, so now the boys will go and enjoy one last sauna here in Wundanyi (Taita).
