Below the Equator

We crossed the Equator this morning at 5.08 a.m., on a Kenya Airways ("Pride of Africa") flight. If I didn't quite believe I was embarking on this journey, it all became clear when the TV screens onboard showed the distance and time remaining to ... 'safari' (i.e. 'destination' in Swahili). I also received sugar, salt and pepper containers with elephants and giraffes on, so there was no doubt anymore. I was in Africa alright!

I am now alternating blogging and dozing off in a smelly transit lounge in Nairobi. I will be here for a few more hours, before flying first to Burundi and then to Rwanda. Let the adventure begin!
