We slept in today until 7:00am, the latest on the entire trip. After breakfast, we loaded up the bush vehicle and headed toward Nairobi. We have not had air con since arrival to Africa and I don't miss it. We all keep our windows open with the breeze and dust blowing everywhere. The trip back took 5 hours with one stop for "proper facilities" (well...if you say so...). We met 100's of donkeys, sheep and goats on the road. The baboons rule one section of the road near the vegetable stands and can get aggressive and grab things from your vehicle if not careful.
Once arriving to Kenya, we did not see another Caucasian person except an American dentist staying at our camp and volunteering for a few weeks at the nearby dental clinic. The Kenyans have very dark skin and beautiful smiles.
When we returned to Nairobi it was bustling. I was amazed to see the level of security everywhere. I've been to South and Central America and know what high security looks like...but no comparison.
Our hotel sat on the same block where the Embassy was bombed a some years back which has been converted to a park.
We had to exit the car entering the airport and walk through a metal detector. Two guards checked the vehicle with mirrors, etc., full pat downs inside with several more layers of checks. The airport itself was depressing. John said it reminded him of a Russian airport ( I thought worse).
The trip home will take 33 hours with no delays or missed connections. Reality is quickly settling in...
Thanks for joining along with this trip to the UAE and Kenya. I hope you have enjoyed my writings. It was so much more fun taking you along!
Until next time...
