This is the day we are heading to Nairobi but first we needed to take pictures as the glass elevator descended

../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020495
</PHOTO>
and then we made our way to the airport where they were checking in our flight though it wasn't yet listed on the board
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020496
</PHOTO>
as the family noted when trying to find it
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020497
</PHOTO>
before we could turn our attention to our suitcases
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020498
</PHOTO>
and wonder why the handle broke off of Ben's.

We had time for a quick breakfast which was accompanied by the malaria medication but first the table was set
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020501
</PHOTO>
with water
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020502
</PHOTO>
and waffles
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020503
</PHOTO>
and lovely glasses
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020504
</PHOTO>
at this cafe in the airport
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020505
</PHOTO>
while Suzanne and Sarah went to get chocolate which came with this free sample
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020506
</PHOTO>
one side of which would not photograph well
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020507
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020508
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020509
</PHOTO>
even as we approached our gate
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020510
</PHOTO>
and watched the cameramen conduct their interview as we boarded.

Once on board, we observed the town of Charleroi on the map (maybe this is where Maggie came from?)
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020512
</PHOTO>
as Sky Bites were served
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020513
</PHOTO>
but Ben's iced tea came in a funny color
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020514
</PHOTO>
as my main course
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020515
</PHOTO>
opened to reveal falafel and cous cous
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020516
</PHOTO>
with a particularly stringy salad
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020517
</PHOTO>
and a strawberry fig newton like dessert
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020518
</PHOTO>
complimented by pretty accessories
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020519
</PHOTO>
and wine
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020520
</PHOTO>
all of which came before Ben's lunch
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020521
</PHOTO>
which was topped off by some of the chocolate Suzanne bought in the airport.

The flight was long enough that we next got this container of ice cream
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020523
</PHOTO>
with a nice design for where the spoon should go
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020524
</PHOTO>
and then a good flavor to eat.
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020525
</PHOTO>
This was followed by yet another plate of food that I recorded and another that I chose not to record because it was enough already.

After all of the travel, we found ourselves in Nairobi where this was our room
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020527
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020528
</PHOTO>
and this was our bathroom at the Fairview Hotel
