I thought I would be able to get more work done on the long plane rides over. Two seven-hour legs with a four-hour layover. I had anticipated the lack of power in the seats, but I did not plan on being doubled over for the plane rides due to a weird combination of plane and abdominal pressure. It subsided a bit in the layover airport and then just before we touched down in Kenya. Strange; haven’t had it before, and not since.
The Amsterdam airport was new to me. I don’t think I had seen one that hosted many more international flights than domestic ones. Internet was easy to get, though it cost me €6. I ate an orange for breakfast and some cookies called fijnproevers.
I did see “This Is It” on the flight OnDemand and was impressed. For all of Michael Jackson’s faults, he was an incredible artist.
After a day of travel, we landed in Nairobi, a mile-high town, went through customs and made our way to the hotel. A quick check-in and dinner sent us off to bed.
