I spent my last night in South Africa having dinner with my sister and Nike. It was a brilliant dinner and I enjoyed being with them. It made the whole going away and being nervous much easier. They're a scream to be around.
Spent the night at Nike's on their farm. On the way we were treated to the most spectacular lightning and thunderstorm. It was insane and terribly pretty.
My flight to Nairobi was pretty dull. We got treated to a screening of Little Man which I decided to avoid. Although the two guys sitting beside me loved it. They were shaking the whole time as I was reading up on gay and lesbian history.
The drive from Jomo Kenyatta airport was nerve wrecking. My driver was a maniac. On the way into the city I was greeted by flocks of ibis, cattle heron, marabou storks and large falcons. Brilliant! They're nesting in large yellow fever trees lining some of the avenues.
The Nairobi skyline is pretty neat. Very modern and it felt a bit like Johannesburg's. I'm sharing a dorm room with a guy from Canada who's overlanded from Turkey. He shared some of his adventures with me this morning. Horror stories of non-existent roads and non-existent vehicles.
Walked into town. It's busy and city like. I think I'll hang out here today and do some museum and park viewing. Signed up for a bit of a tour tomorrow.
I feel a bit out of sorts, but will probably feel better once I've had breakfast.
