My trip- Part 2

Hey hey everyone.....sorry it has been awhile since I have blogged....my computer went all dodgy and I had to get it fixed, and I have got it back only today so that is why it has taken me awhile to get back on here....well here goes.

After driving from Kisumu, we arrived in Kericho and drove through the city streets and suddenly we could see the Gurdwara in the distance. I found it so amazing that one second you are in the middle of poverty and then you go through the front gates of the Gurdwara and you feel like you are on a whole entire different place. I was so taken away when we first got there, the entire place is so breathtaking and amazing.


Once inside, it felt like you were in a totally different place. There is so much peace there and I have never felt anything like it. A lot of these pictures have no words.

The school just behind the Gurdwara
















Us at the Thapan Usthan, where Babaji used to to bhagthi






Nishan Sahib seva






A few of us (My Dad, Bala uncle, Jaskirath, Raj and myself) went wandering around the streets one afternoon. We stopped for some Coke and Fanta, IN GLASS BOTTLES!!! That was one thing I wish we had here. There is something about drinking pop from glass bottles haha....it somehow just tastes better.













Amrit Sanchar











After that we left Kericho and headed off to the Masai Mara Game park lodge for our next adventure........

The Gurudwara is massive!!!! I didn't realize they had built such a big one. It does look like it is in excellent condition.

I remember having pop in the glass bottles when we went to Africa...seems like a long time ago. Yummy...

Look forward to seeing your safari pictures.
