Sites of Sagalla




A recent trip to Taita Taveta county reminded me why i should change my judge-at-first-sight attitude.I dint like the small community nestled in the Sagalla hills at first, until a friend took us for a stroll  through  thorned  bushes, down to dry river bed on the edge of the hills.

 Out of nowhere..behold one of the most breathtaking scenery's i have ever seen (considering  i hate heights.) I have  never gone mountain climbing because  1) i detest the cold temperatures and 2) i hate walking- so this was the closest i came to touching the  heavens! :)




The dry river bed slopes to the edge of the cliff creating space for sitting and lying down while taking in the magical  beauty of part of the hills and the low lands below.From here, houses in the lowlands look tiny-reduced to mere white dots,only the green vegetation and meandering roads are visible.
