Up at 4.30 to catch my 5.00 taxi to the airport. Flights on time, in jo-berg, take path through parking garage, merchants and all, to change from domestic to int’l terminal. Burn off remaining Rands w chocolate and whiskey. Luggage doesn’t arrive in Nairobi. Wait forever in lost luggage line. Exit and look through mass of people for my name on a placard from the driver from the hotel. Don’t see it – damnit, maybe the drive left because of the luggage delay. Go through again and see it. Hurray! Nice to be back at the Country Lodge hotel, starting to feel like home. Exhausted but can’t sleep. Take an amazing shower and head to dinner at the outdoor café. Grab some more sushi while I can. Nice to be back in regular email contact w the world.
