After a visit to the house, I walked around the terrain and followed some of the trails in the bushes. One of them led me to an old coffee grinding machine, but unfortunately not to a point where I could enjoy a full view of the Ngong mountains of which I could at best see only the top outline. I walked back to Karen. Yes, the town here was renamed after the Danish author, who, during her stay, provided employment for many local Kikuyus and apparently was a good boss for them, treated them as equals decades before independence. She was therefore regarded highly by the Kenyans; even now, there are shops, hairdressers and restaurants named after her. After her forced departure, Karen Blixen would never returned between her departure and her death, in Denmark, in 1962.
