Touching Down in Nairobi

December 27, 2009

After a long flight and a terrible transfer in London, I'm in Nairobi, which is a great big bustling African city. It is great to be back in Africa, and despite all the scare stories, I love Nairobi! It's so much more integrated than a South African city--white people and black people and Indian residents and Chinese residents all mingle together.

On my only full day here, I visited the Giraffe Center, where you can feed the giraffes, who have sandpaper tongues and terrible breath, and Karen Blixen's house.

  2. They have black tongues, don't they? That always has been a bit of an affection barrier between myself and giraffes, I'm afraid.
