Do you know that there were 18 towns between Mombasa and Nairobi but with the growth of Konza the number is now 19? And that does not include Nairobi and Mombasa.
Way back in the 90s,pombe still very affordable, Mututho had not come to spoil the party and the thing called second generation did not exist Tusker,Guiness,Pilsiner and Whitecap were the only pombes available. For those who had cash,Smirnoff,Richot or Gilbeys were the thing.
One day I had the opportunity of driving to Mombasa and it turned out to be the most epic journey to Mombasa I have ever taken.
We left Eastleigh at around 10 am one Sunday morning and got to Mombasa Beach Hotel at 4 am on Monday morning.
This was after stopping for a drink,two bottle of Guiness export specifically,at every town along the highway.
From Athi River,Machakos town,yes,16kms away from the highway all the way to Mariakani and Mazeras.
Got to the hotel at 4,did what we had to do and left for Nairobi the following Saturday for a repeat journey of stopping and drinking…
What’s the most epic journey you ever taken?
