Nairobi Arrival

Wonderful flight from Heathrow to Nairobi.  Had window seat but looked out onto wing so could not see anything! Lunch, nap, tea. Time went fast.   Deluxe meeting as I came off plane. Very well taken care of.  There seemed to me a stronger Moslem presence in the people at the airport. Lots of veils. 

Was told things have changed a lot since I was here New Years 2004/5.  Lots of construction I was told. Turns out it is the security which is very heightened - Middle East style.  Mirrors under car and looked in boot before we could approach hotel.  Metal security to get into hotel a la airports. Need to use room key to get into the area where I am sleeping.  All of this is quite different.  I suspect the Norfolk Hotel is difficult to protect - one of the reasons we are not staying there. I remember guards outside Norfolk in 2004. Hotel Ole Sereni, is in what was American Embassy. They have moved even further out.

We are on the edge of a national park here and apparently I can see a water hole from my window but it is dark and I was warned not to open it because of mosquitos. One thing that has changed is computers and wifi!  Is this ever great.  More tomorrow.  It gets light at 6:00 am.  Guess who will be hanging out of the window!
