The second flight - Nairobi Airport

Our second flight from Amsterdam to Nairobi was 8 hours. We had to go to thru another security to get to the gate area. Our plane as you can see is huge, a double decker. For some reason we're not on the top floor where first class sits. 

When our van comes to meet us a group of men begin helping us load. We don't want to hurt anyone's feelings as they are so graciously helping us load. When asked to give them money for helping we Do. They ask us for 5 or ten or even 50. Some of us don't know what to do so we give them money. 5 dollars here, 10 there, 5 there, another 10. Little did we know they were meaning shillings.... We gave them dollars. Lesson learned .... Wait to follow Suzan's lead. Schillings are a lot different than dollars.

It's so amazing at how chilly it is here, it feels wonderful to me but you can see the Kenyans with heavy coats on. 

We made it to heart lodge and unload our 30+ bags. George, who runs Heart Lodge shows us to our rooms. I am shocked at how beautiful the rooms are and so big. The greatest part of it all, we can flush our toilet paper - woo hoo!

We are asked to go to the dining room as they have a snack for us. How amazing that its 10 p.m. And they give us something wonderful to eat and it's warm. We are blessed

The top picture is of a meat veggie filled pastry, so delicious and the bottom pic is of a lemon type cake. I need to get the recipe!

Goodnight everyone!
