This is the day we are heading to Nairobi but first we needed to take pictures as the glass elevator descended
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
as the family noted when trying to find it
before we could turn our attention to our suitcases
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
with water
and waffles
and lovely glasses
at this cafe in the airport
while Suzanne and Sarah went to get chocolate which came with this free sample
one side of which would not photograph well
even as we approached our gate
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?)
as Sky Bites were served
but Ben's iced tea came in a funny color
as my main course
opened to reveal falafel and cous cous
with a particularly stringy salad
and a strawberry fig newton like dessert
complimented by pretty accessories
and wine
all of which came before Ben's lunch
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
with a nice design for where the spoon should go
and then a good flavor to eat.
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
and this was our bathroom at the Fairview Hotel
