Evarret, the deeply religious high school student living at Julius' clinic, dreamt of rescuing Maria on a white horse in an utmost biblical fashion. The doctor himself was going to town and promised his Norwegian visitors he'd be back by twelve. Unfortunately he didn't make it before 7pm, barely in time for the guests big farewell dinner. After the unavoidably sad affaire, but still with a few days left for departure, Julius desided to take the hole bunch on a trip down memory lane at his birth place.
Also in the figh for parental rights, Philip managed to kidnap the unsuspecting Norwegians. By holding them captive for a night in his semi-luxurious home while providing them with delicious meals and a hot shower, he hoped to lure them into becoming Kenyan citizens. Upon discovering that the visitors still planned for an imminent departure, the whole Boit family throwed them into a Philip-guided safari to the big tea plantations in Nandi.
Suspiciously sweet drawings from the Boit kids Alex, Olympia, Faith and Dæhlie reached out towards the visitors hearts, leaving deep traces of affection, but failing to alter their plans.
After several heartbreaking goodbyes the two Norwegians, accompanied by fellow travelers Odin and Ida, sat out on the next big adventure. In Philip's own matatu they could enjoy the company of Dr. Sang's younger brother Ezekiel, who would not leave them for any other reason than a boardercrossing. Upon arriving in Nairobi, the expectedly criminal and filthy capital of Kenya, they all paid a brief visit to Julius' wife Rosbella and their rebel daughter Gloria, currently held captive at an unfairly strict, all girl boarding high-school. After handing out a few last minute hugs the birds cast a final look over their shoulders before taking yet another step into the unknown.
