Tuesday 01.02.11
I was up early and ready to head to the bank. I had to get Tammi up too, as she is not usually an early riser! Of course, the bank manager was not in, so I spoke to customer service. They said there was no evidence of such a transaction with my account yesterday, so they rang head office and confirmed that it had taken place.
They said that the transaction was pending as it had not been approved by my bank so that the money would be restored within 3 business days, or I would be refunded my money. Slightly skeptical, I requested a letter of confirmation to bring with me if I needed to return to the bank. So having got nowhere really we headed to do some other chores in town, including the post office and to another store to buy dresses as it’s far too hot to wear even shorts! We also need a nice dress to wear to White Sands so we can blend in as guests again!
We then returned home and waited for the caretakers to move out so Mel and Kim can move in and begin working for To Kenya Forever. They arrived before the caretakers were out so we gave them a tour of the freshly renovated place and soon enough they were able to get settled in the servants quarters.
The rest of the day we stayed around the house cleaning, unpacking, sorting through the babies clothes and a few other housecleaning chores. We headed into Nyali cinema and saw ‘The Tourist’ for $4! It was a lovely cinema with nice lights, seats and it was even clean! It was as good as Australian standards, which could not be said for the cinema we went to at the Sarit Centre in Nairobi! We also had dinner at an Italian restaurant in the same complex, and that was nice too. Before heading home, we did our first weekly food shop so we didn’t have to go out every day.
