Piece of heaven

So, we said goodbye to Melbourne yesterday. There were 14 people at the airport sending us off and it was the most difficult departure I've ever experienced. Australia is home as much as Finland now and leaving home is never easy.

Our flight to Bangkok was practically empty, and for that reason quite enjoyable. And I believe for the same reason the person who checked in our luggage allowed us 10 extra kilos on top of the 50 we were allowed.

We arrived to our Nairobi digs, Miti Mingi Guest House, about an hour ago. After reading so many stories about the dangers of Nairobi, this place seems like a piece of heaven. Our hostess is originally from Holland but has chosen Nairobi as her home and I can't blame her. I'll post some photos once the hubby gets his camera out.

Just got the warning the power is out, so must go now. Talk to you soon.

  2. I can imagine it's been quite emotional. Hope you'll have a nice break now between places to reflect a little bit and to plan your future here in Finland. And just to relax!

    Looking forward to the pics! :)
