Well, it's pretty rare that a dinner deserves an entire blog post but hey this is Africa after all.
After arriving, we sat down on about a thousand tables in the middle of a disco dancefloor with dry ice and flashing lights. Then, the fun started. As a taster, here are just a few of the highlights:
- The entire restaraunt had only two menus
- While waiting over three hours for our food (and reordering three times in that period) we boogied with some locals and the DJ in a cage.
- A mobile sink came around our table for us to wash our hands
- Gary, who ordered goat, waited 3 hours to be told they didnt serve goat
- Gary was offered chicken as an alternative………
- ……….he got beef stew
- Leigh was blamed by the waiter for the food being late
- Reilly got served an empty plate
- David had a perfectly acceptable Sausage, Bacon, Egg and Chips.The egg was served to him an hour after the rest of his meal, on its own plate
- We were asked to add up our own bill as the staff did not have any idea what to charge us
And for less than £80 for 17 people, you definitely get what you pay for.
We danced pre and post meal to immense tunes, drank strawberry flavoured wine and tuskers and had a hilarious night dining and dancing! Thank you Kenya!
And now for some photos from the orphanage
Well at least you had a good time guys, sounds like the restaurant staff were trying their best!
