Wednesday 29th October GOING HOME DAY

I drove to the airport at about 9.00, dropped the car off and waited for the Cargolux ground handlers. A bit of a rush then I was on the flight. They fleeced me for 20 usd exit tax or whatever, and then I was sitting down in the lovely aircraft seat holding a free bunch of roses. The aircraft was filled to the brim with boxes of flowers due for the Amsterdam market that same evening.
I had mixed feelings about going home. Kenya is getting very crowded. The roads are a continual market and meeting place. Everyone seems to migrate towards the roads, towns and cities. And of course everyone is looking to make their living, whether it is by honest means or dishonest means. Nevertheless Kenya still has immense natural beauty. The mountains, the lakes, the rift valley, wild animals, and the 'smell' of the bush just after it has rained.
