Nairobi stop over is alway exciting, only difference this time is I am married to Liz and therefore she cannot go to her parents place - this creates a little complexity - because apart from the fact that I can now not lodge around with other bachelor friends (Mark ago B&B) I have to make a plan for Liz's accommodation.
Never the less after spending one night at the UK club, my friend Bonnie was kind enough to offer his extra room which we gladly;y accepted.
Normally after the long night flight from Lagos to Nairobi, one has a mixed feeling of both fatigue and and absurd excitement. Fatigue of course because most of the night is sleepless and excitement because we are back home - kind funny because IO have not lived in Nairobi for 7 years now and still feels home more than anywhere else I have been.
The first day begins with a huge Java breakfast which we had with Toma (we gave him a wake up call from the airport car pack soon after we settled into the Taxi).
Usually Nairobi stay is characterized with a lot of Golf sessions with all kind of beets with Markago. Not different this time - we played 18 holes at the Rift Valley club on Sunday the 8th of April team competion with contentious results. I was paired with Toma while Markago paired with Liaz. Toma constantly complained that I was hedging the game, either was the proceeds would go to the family. In the end it was a contentious tie but was clear that one to one I had given markago a through beating - for a once in along time.
