Champagne?...yes please
Moved through the boarding gate and got handed our Club world ticket. From hear on things got pretty ridiculous. Sitting in our seat which reclined down to be as flat as a bed, probably the most comfortable plane journey possible. Soon as we sat down we were offered champagne and obviously were inclined to take this and then two more double southern comforts and lemonade. Coffee came with cake, champagne came in a glass, and dinner came in three courses. This was most pleasing, but we both were pretty miffed we weren't in first class. Apparently their TV's are bigger....piss take.
We landed and queued for about an hour for the visa. Got picked up by a cab who's boot obviously didn't open, so we squeezed in with out luggage and were taken on a long scary journey to our hotel in Nairobi city center. No one was English. We get stared at pretty much everywhere we go. We were told not to go out at night, so we had a few in our busy hotel bar and called it a night.
Today we were taken for a tour around the city. Got a few good
pictures off the top of a really high building, and visited a market where we were followed and pestered throughout. Some bloke wanted to swap one of our Malia bands for something. As if.
Heading into Nakuru tommorow to start our project and get introduced to our home stay family. Will probably have more to say next weekend.
