So I am in africa, nairobi kenya to be precise and unexpectedly am making use of the free wifi in the four star hotel kenyan airways have put us up in as when we arrived into nairobi it was chaos! Immigration was in a marque on the tarmac and no one had any idea about flights arriving and departing, people waiting 24 hrs for flights that dont exist. You have to give it to the airline staff, smiles on their faces and willing to help, impressive! It took less than an hour for me to hear the phrase t.i.a, this is africa! Love it!
So after waiting in various queues for best part of 6 hours in the shadow of the still smoldering international terminal, avoiding the journalists and news crews filming the events, we were told that there no flights to juba until tomorrow, no worries, creature comforts of a hotel here we come, thank you very much kenyan airways!
So off to bed early as we have to head back to the airport at 4am to try our luck getting onto the morning flight to juba. fingers crossed however not holding our breath as numerous reports today of overbooking of flights and non existent flights.
Well adventure is what I wanted and I am starting it in true style!!
