 BRIDGERTON

NB: No spoilers. 

This one I didn't see coming.After passing it over a few times thinking it was just another run in the mill historical series.Not that I hate historical series or anything,was just having a time out with them. 

It's a good thing that I decided to take a peek,and my, what a peek,I took it all the way to the end.Fancy taking a peek eight hours long, I know right.Well lets get down to it...Shonda just blew me away, again,after greys and you know the rest.But this one,she just knocked the ball right out of the park.

First things first,am mighty thankful that I wasn't born in that era because if I were...let's just say am glad.Now that we've gotten that out of the way,let's get back to the matter at hand.I know that in reality what happens in bridgerton might have actually been impossible in those times but then again..I was not there and neither were you...Okay fine. I know you will tell me that there is history to prove this and that and the other but hey okay there was alright but is it a hundred percent of everything that happened back then or is it a scenario where someone goes to another country..say India for example,finds natives and years later you hear so and so discovered mount whatever the name.How profound.I'll leave that for you to answer, no need to get into the nitty gritties.

Yes,talk about veering off the topic.This exquisite piece just left me thirsting for more.I for one am glad that second season is underway and then some.This is a production like no other in it's time.The diversity in it is just plain refreshing...let's not dwell on that.If you are a sucker for tales,fairy tale endings,romance...just plain old love conquers all.Look no further...this will leave you eating all the popcorn in your bowl and then pretty much dunking your hand back in there severally after the fact.We are talking no sleep from start to finish.

By the way when I say love conquers all I mean literally,having watched the first series and read the second book, "If you are not a reader,this might make one out of you yet"i've witnessed love literally curing trauma, if only,that would be mighty nice.Yes the movie is far more than you can imagine,the book is really,really,really good too,just read the one as of yet but I seriously do not like the amount of blaspheming in it...honestly i'll try the third but if the blaspheming is as much...I shall stick to waiting for the movies like a good little soldier. 

I will have to stop here before I start spoiling by dissecting even further,I believe if you decide to venture into it,you will not regret it.

Such a breath of fresh air.

Navasha,Kenya.Kongoni Lodge

 Very good food. Quite private,a bit removed from the touristy areas in Naivasha.

You want good food, go the ala carte way.

This is one of the places that are serene at Naivasha,a bit far removed from the town by 33.7 kilometres.

Don't let that stop you though,the best time to go there is early morning since at that time you get to see wild animals if you use the south lake road.You get to pass right in the middle of Hells Gate national Park between olkaria or kengen and Ndabibi.

The name kongoni is a Kiswahili name for Harte beast,these are there in plenty along with monkeys,warthogs and giraffes.These you get to see enroute.

So, my experience...

The food I most liked was each meal that was ala carte because it gave me the feel of home and each it was presented in detail.For this type, be prepared to wait but it will be worth your while.I did not quite like the buffet there because for me the food lacked individuality.It was good yes but i guesse we can say i was spoilt rotten by their ala carte.

There is a swimming pool,if you dont mind the cold ( to be fair really don't like feeling cold even a little bit) ,cold here is relative.I loved the scenary.

All in all,it was good enough for me to put it back on my bucket list for later.

It's quite enough, unfortunately or fortunately...mobile network is still active here.Good place for readers and for people who genuinely want to get away.
