The stay in the Nairobi hotel was short as we had been advised to order our taxi for 08:00 in order to be sure of reaching Jomo Kenyatta airport by 10:45. We therefore had to rise at 06:30 and have an early breakfast.
Such an early start was unwarranted as it happened, since the journey took us just an hour. In addition, our flight to Abu Dhabi was delayed.
Abu Dhabi airport is new, bright and shiny, but that doesn't seem to matter much in the wee small hours we you have a lengthy stop-over. We sat in relative comfort, but with the assistance of Etihad blankets, to counteract the powerful air conditioning.
Arrival at Heathrow was a little over an hour late, but Dave was there to meet us and transported us back to Five Oak Green.
The Kenyan adventure comes to an end!
