Another four hours of sleep and it is 3AM which one cannot sleep past for some reason. Never mind trying to figure out what time zone you are on as by now we are on our way to inventing one of our own. Catching the bus back to Terminal 5 we are seated amongst a troop of older single British women heading off on a sightseeing adventure in America. When Terminal 5 opened this spring, it was a chaotic mess that took weeks to sort out. Today its operations are smooth and its décor a functional pale green throughout. We boarded another 747-400 for Kenya and Merrie soon made a "connection" with the staff who made treks to first class to provide libations that were not on our menu here in steerage. Below the pale brown landscape of Sicily basks in the sun with Palermo in the distance. We cross the Mediterannean and overfly Libya, Sudan, nudge Ethiopia and land in Kenya's capitol, Nairobi.
