(Home) sweet appartment

By request a photo tour of our temporary home. We are in C block of the KEA appartments (Kaciyru Executive Appartments) appartment C301 or C321 (both are on door!) on the second floor.


Apologies for the sideways piccies - I haven't worked out how to turn them on the mac with the software I have...

Upon entering we have a storage room (office) to the right and an open plan spacious living / dining room - with balcony and seating area.

From here we have a view onto a dirt road which is pretty busy with foot traffic, and kids who point and say muzungu - theres a stretch of grass which is popular for midday siestas and afternoon games of football, as well as the local church (red roof).

In the distance we can see the golf course, and a new surburban development on one of the hills.


A kitchen with balcony and store room (the kitchen is hand built with a solid cement foundation for the units, and unhygienic tiling on the top).



A snug WC (with handbasin which requires a leftward lean when seated)


A separate bathroom


2 spare single bedrooms, one used solely for ironing


An ensuite bedroom with balcony


and another small store room.

As mentioned in earlier post, all is new and appears in order, mosquito screens on windows etc, but closer inspection reveals badly applied grout, unfinished undersides, and paint and varnish on the floors / walls where it shouldn't be - you can see where the painter used a roller on the bathroom door - on the floor...oeps
