Where am I?
Nairobi, Kenya |
Good morning…um, not Africa yet, oh yes, it’s still London. The Hilton did very well accommodating an additional 350 people at very short notice, so we all enjoyed a nice breakfast! Although not quite as African as my morning should have been. Had to be back at the terminal around 8am – only a short 5minute walk! Although, this time met with long queues for passport and security checks. However this time, we got on a plane! The girl sat next to me on the plane lives a 5minute walk from my old house in Putney – what a small world it is! 8 hours and 3 films later, we were coming in to land over the dusty plains of Nairobi, skimming over the heads of the giraffes. We were even treated to a Christmas dinner on the plane – complete with turkey, stuffing, brussel sprouts and a mince pie! Back in London I had sent a few hurried emails to the Nairobi hostel to rearrange my airport pick up and was praying that they had been received, processed and someone would be here to meet me. I was in luck! A short drive through a dark and deserted Nairobi city later and I had finally arrived!
