The Jomo Kenyatta Airport, Nairobi

 pakdokter's partner doing a 'stretch'
after the long 9-hour flight




Sunday, 19th August 2012

We arrived into Nairobi to a cold Sunday morning. After the modern and relatively new airports at KLIA and Bangkok, the Jomo Kenyatta Airport in Nairobi was totally from another world altogether. Duty-free shops lined the already narrow corridors and the toilets were from another era. We decided to adjourn to the First Class Lounge and at least we had a fairly clean and fresh washrooms there. We spent a good one hour there, helping ourselves to coffee and savouries.
 
The Sunday papers had pages and pages of Eid Greetings which told pakdokter that Kenya has quite a sizable Muslim community. In fact the airport was quite busy with Muslim travellers from ?Zanzibar, Somalia, Sudan etc. These folks must be returning home after spending the Ramadan in Mecca.
