When we were at the American School in London, a Thames Television show called Magpie sponsored us on a flamingo-tagging trip to Lake Nakuru in Kenya.
We flew into Nairobi and took a buss to Lake Nakuru.
We had to wear paper underwear because there was no way to do laundry.
And we discovered that the woman our science teacher had brought along was his mistress. Oh, and many flamingoes were tagged.
Thanks to my friend Lynn Williamson for the pictures. As anyone who’s read the book can imagine any pictures Robbie and I had didn’t survive.
