28 October 2019: Part 2

I’m finally all checked in at the Nairobi airport. The flight from Diani Beach was uneventful. I was met at the airport with no problem. I may or may not have said two weeks ago that I had been given a nice book about East African mammals that I asked them to keep and bring me today. Of course they hadn’t. So we went to the hotel I stayed at the first night and waited about an hour for someone to bring it to me. It was fine. It saved me an hour wait at the airport.

When we entered airport property we all had to get out of the car and go through security and the car was searched. Then to enter the airport itself I had to go through security again. The chapstick in my pocket set off the metal detector. Finally after I went through passport control I had to go through security for a third time!  We don’t have any reason to complain in the US!

It’s 8:30 pm. We supposedly board at 11:00 pm and the plane is supposed to leave at midnight. Then on to Amsterdam!
