Fish 'n chips and almost ripped.....you'd had to been there!

We haven't had much internet access lately, but now I've got the modem while we're driving out to Lake Nakuru, so I'm gettin' blog happy!

Before our arrival in Kenya we had a 12 hour layover in London, so I have included some pictures. It was a great way for the team to spend some time together…

We had an interesting incident that was alluded to in an earlier blog, but everyone, as one post comment said, “remained curiously silent”!

So here's the deal.....
While in London we went to a restaurant and were seated in a basement section managed by one waitress. When we were given the bill it only had the total on it and we were told we had to pay her and not to pay at the upstairs cashier. The bill seemed a little suspicious so Cindy requested an itemized bill. This must not have sat to well with the waitress because she would now only talk to Erika. After reviewing the bill we discovered the waitress had overcharged us for our meal and added charges for table usage….she basically tried to rip us off!!

It wasn’t that big a deal, but I’m the only one willing to "be real"....haha...to share the moral to this story …..
”Don’t ever trust a Romanian, who’s an Italian/French wannabe, speaking a mixture of English, French and Italian, who then speaks Spanish to a Chinese guy, in a London fish and chips restaurant”……oh well….you would’ve had to been there…..we're all still laughing about this!

Nice pics though.....
