Equator Green Gardens & Resort — Hotel in Baringo

We had really wanted to take this tourist stop. So, we requested our tour operator to make the detour for us. He happily obliged.||There is nothing to do in the tiny town of Mogotio, but surprisingly, a whole bunch of vehicles with tourists were making the effort to come here to stand on the Equator. As soon as we stopped, a bunch of sellers surrounded us to entice us into buying something from their souvenir stores. ||There was a lady there who was demonstrating the Coriolis Whirlpool Movement and its Reversal by moving just a few feet from either side of the imaginary Equator Line.

Very good place to have a rest when we were doing the KBO. We were 5 cyclists and the welcoming was very good from every member of the staff. The food was generous quantity and delicious compared to other more "luxurious" places we have had to spend the night. The swimingpool is the best for relaxing the muscles after long journeys riding.
