Mountains

On the pic it doesn't look like a mountain, but we are at roughly 1'000m over sea level.The route went steadily up until we reached Nairobi, the capital city at an elevation of 1'600m. We drove through the city around 8pm. So it was already dark...but it was enough to get an idea of the driving culture there. We were the only car stopping at the red lights. I've never seen a city where street signals were so blatantely ignored. So we adapted and dind't care for street signals any more. Just a matter of getting used to it...
After Nairobi the street went up to 2'700m. Finally we stopped at a gas station and spent the night there.
