Travelling to Kenya

Actually the trip to Kenya, although long was pretty unsual.
I flew to Vienna first with tiny plane, I thought such planes are used only in Indonesia. So that was rather an unpleasant surprise.

I boarded the plane to fly to Cairo at 3pm. I was sitting next to one African lady who was pretty loud with expressing all inconveniencies as well as highlights from her travelling. This way we have learnt (why flying Egyptian airlines) how outrageous it is that there is no alcohol available and that she is really getting thirsty! :o)

There were quite few male flight attendants and one started to joke with me, ... being flushed to the toilet, ... but that was all to turn out great as suddenly the flight attendants comes to my place and asks me to go to the back. When I come he serves me 1st class deserts and invites me to visit his IT business while waiting for my flight in Cairo.

As I need a visa, I stayed with my new African friend and we were joined by one more Kenyan man. They both spent lots of time talking which spared me the effort and I could just listen and do nothing. The African lady managed to find out that there is a bar serving alcohol available at the airport and she insisted upon inviting us.

I agreed to get a whisky. I forgot my alcohol pad which I need on Sunday nights, so I used this whisky, poured it on the napkin and was ready for my weekly activity. :o))

Boarding plane to Kenya was good, my Kenyan "friend" who has invited me for food in Cairo airport also managed to arrange me three seats to sleep on at the plane, so that was great. Getting up at 5am was thus slightly easier.

I got picked up by the NGO staff. We were driven to this land that this NGO owns. After seeing it in the morning, I call it the kingdom inside of the republic. It is incredible. Place located on a hill will little vilas scattered all over the place, flowers, blossoming trees, cut bushes... no more to say to that...

And I am soooo sleepy.
