This week was a delightful departure from the norm. I took some much needed time off and it was exactly what the doctor ordered. Peace, serenity, indulgent naps and glorious 10 hr sleeps.
If you’re in Kenya, you’re most definitely aware if how much it has been pouring. You’d think we missed the ticket to board the Ark. However, that didn’t stop us from packing up our car and driving North East to Nanyuki.
My routine this week was a dream. Each day started with me waking up to watch the sunrise, on the rare occasion it wasn’t cloudy. I caught a glimpse of Mount Kenya’s peak a few times and it made getting up at dawn while on holiday so worth it.
Next up would be a quick 30 minute workout, enough to work up a sweat and get the blood pumping, then a plunge into the cold pool to get myself refreshed. After that we’d have breakfast and I’d curl up at a new spot each time with a book, and of course a glass of wine next to me.
We’d go for a walk or drive and explore new restaurants when the weather allowed. Safe to say, it’s been my most relaxing time in 2024.
