Rainy Christmas in Kenya (III)

December 26, 2009 By Guy St. Clair

Christmas lunch was at what used to be called, when run by a couple of Americans, Trout Farm. It is indeed a business where farm trout is raised, apparently very successfully. Now under new Canadian ownership, the name has been changed to Trout Tree, to focus on the “treetop”-type restaurant. Built in the trees (although not quite of the level of splendor of the famous Treetops Lodge where Elizabeth II received the news of her ascension to the throne in 1952), Trout Tree is a lovely place to have a meal, and Dorothy and Marcin and I had a lovely, leisurely time together, so leisurely in fact that Marcin and I were able to have one of our famous long discussions, as you can see from the bottom photo here
