We’re here!! Arrived late last night in great spirits with various hours of sleep under our belt.
One quick note about international travel, yes yes yes there are all the aches and pains of, are we there yet, but if you allow it, it can actually energize you. At Heathrow we waited for our connection under the big connection board. Listings for Barcelona, Budapest, Mumbai, Prague ..a feast of people watching and wondering…who are they, what is their story, have they been up for hours and do they have the sleepy giggles too??
And very fun to be with British air crew when England clinched their semi-final spot in the World Cup. Still a Croatia girl, but good for you England.
I’m terrible with pictures, but wish I had taken one of the woman holding the sign at the Nairobi airport..Fosterx9. We whisked through customs and off we went towards our hotel. Midnight dinner…very cosmopolitan, and then shower … ahhhhh … and bed … complete with mosquito net … don’t worry my favorite mother in law, it is decor only.
This morning, Sunday, very quiet. Feels like a movie set, hotel is beautiful, set amidst very plush trees. We are outside the city, but from what we saw last night, Nairobi looks like many other cities on a Saturday night..a-buzz.
Today we are off to an elephant orphanage .. yes, there is a fear one will find it’s way to PA, we have the space at the 205 right?
And then a museum of some sort…they lost my attention after the discussion of elephants and giraffes.. and then cocktails on the hotel veranda.
Veranda..such a lyrical word.
Doesn’t everyone do this on Sunday evening??
Gotta leave you for a bit, the staff is finding me coffee and surely wondering why this idiotic woman is up at 0’dark thirty.
I’m not missing a minute.
To coffee we go…
Hope to see you along the way..
