Railway museum tells the story of Kenya’s evolution

I remember those school trips to Amani Cottage (belonging to Alliance High School) near Shelly Beach Hotel in the South Coast where we saw the ocean for the very first time, the fetid smell of Bulleys Tanneries at Thika, the pink flamingos on Lake Nakuru and the hot water geysers spewing steam on the shores of Lake Bogoria.

For the more mature students, there was the tour of Kenya Breweries where, towards the end, the management would sometimes allow the party 10 minutes to sample their finished product.
