We camped the night behind the police station on the Kenyan-Ethiopian border on the Kenyan side. The police proudly told us they had the best bar in town at the policemen's canteen. Off we go!
What the police had failed to mention was that the canteen was right next to the prison. In what can only be a wee sense of irony, the Kenyans thought it appropriate to dress all of the convicts in the comedy black and white striped uniforms of old - complete with hat!
We watched as a truck containing the sullen looking, newly made guests of the Kenyan government were taken into the prison.
If the poorly chosen sense of dress wasn't depressing enough for these guys, the fact that they then had to spend the rest of the night listening to us and the police laughing and drinking while playing dance music must have been a crushing blow. Possibly the intention of our lovely hosts, the Kenyan police.
