2014 July 30 - Day 8-Sweetwaters to Thompson Falls to Sarova Lion Hill Lodge in Lake Nakuru Nat'l Park

When we got up in Sweetwaters Tented Camp, the clouds had lifted and Mt. Kenya was visible. Our final destination was the Lion Hill Lodge in Lake Nakuru National Park, but we made some stops along the way.

The first stop was at a shop on the equator where we saw a demonstration of how water drains clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Twenty meters to the north of the equator, water flowing down a drain will spin clockwise. Twenty meters south of the equator, it spins counter clockwise. On the equator, it doesn't spin at all!

Then it was on for a quick stop at Thompson Falls where we took some photos and continued our journey. When we arrived at Lion Hill Lodge, we had lunch, then went on an afternoon game drive. After that, there was entertainment by some Samburu (tribe) dancers.
