So I was supposed to fly back to the UK last Friday night, but of course all that was scuppered by the volcanic ash. However, taking it as an opportunity to visit Nairobi I have seen every wild animal the city has to offer and much more. I have been to a crocodile centre (did you know they don’t have a tongue?), visited orphan elephants (most either fell down wells or their parents were victims of poachers), and a giraffe sanctuary.
I also got to look around the Karen Blixen house ... the lady from Out of Africa.
As the disruption continued, I decided on Monday that the best thing to do was to head back to the school and get on with things. But just as I was about to leave, I got a call from the guy I am staying with asking me if I wouldn’t come into his office and spend the week speaking to his team and reviewing the business; seeing as he is putting me up I didn’t feel I could refuse. And so here I am doing what looks a lot like what I used to do…it’s not so bad especially as it only confirms my desire not to work in an office.
Anyway it is now Wednesday and I have just been told that, everything permitting, I will be on the Friday night flight out of Nairobi.

ReplyDeletedo you feel sad to leave the wild world? the very attractive place in my eyes :)
Evening...not sad yet as I am only going home for 10 days. I'll be back on the 5th May for another 4 months or so. I'm more excited than anything to catch up with some old and friendly faces.
ReplyDeleteAnd,...it is a beautiful place.
