Nyeri

Yeah.

So, the problem was that, like myself who went to school way in Nyeri, there was no aftab because you send a letter, it arrives after the aftab.

We will just hang on campus and stuff.

Can you imagine how many problems we solved by having MPS sent to you? Even sometimes school used to close and I'm going to the poster to check whether my transport back has come.

That's how serious it was.

When you wanted to send money for medicine or you want to send to your mom something, your dad, you gave them a tattoo.

goes all the way to Kisumu or Nyeri or Kisi.

If it doesn't roll somewhere and the things get lost.

But then now the parts where it would fail is one person said, um, that it asked them to go out and do a beach walk.

This is a guy in Nyeri.

[laughs]

Wow.

Wow.

Right? And the guy was like, "No, no, no.

Okay, there's no beach in Nyeri."

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think it, uh...

I believe it was the Nyeri Highway.

Yeah, yeah That's a thing of l- of design, an issue of design.

Mm.

... besides the road.

Mm.

One, one, one is like, uh, on the Nyeri highway, the Kambiti place-

Mm

Now, I want to conclude this episode by going back to where we started, with Robert Baden-Powell and his wife, Olave, and tell you a little bit more about the family.

Robert Baden-Powell and Olave moved to a small one-room cottage in Nyeri, Kenya, a place Robert had once gone to recuperate.

The cottage was on the grounds of the Outspan Hotel, developed from an old farm, which to me means it was probably once owned by the Boers, but was now a hotel on sixty-nine acres of land.

The hotel was developed by Eric Sherbrooke Walker, who worked as the personal secretary for Robert and was one of the Scouts movement's first inspectors.

Be prepared in this way to live happy and die happy.

Stick to your Scout promise always, even after you have ceased to be a boy, and God help you to do it." Robert Baden-Powell died on January eighth, 1941 and was buried in St.

Peter's Cemetery in Nyeri, Kenya.

After that, Olave moved back to England.

In the field.

So it's interesting how far apart, like, Kuria and Nyeri or Embu are.

Mm.

But then there's just so much commonalities and things that are just, yeah.

I was added randomly in a group like as if I have nothing to contribute here.

[laughs] Yeah, so I understand how that can be such, um, such a big deal.

So how do you balance between living in Nairobi, Embu, and Nyeri? 'Cause Jules told us he likes Nairobi.

He's a, he's a, he's a...

We went, my mom was renewing a license.

So we went down to Nyeribo.

They have a, yes, yes, yes, Nyeri.

And I was just seeing like all the planes going up and I was just like, why are they so, they're literally so low, like building level low, but it's because it's training grounds.

Very happy.
