I missed my airport send-off by minutes, had a very good smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, and boarded the flight for Nairobi. Got the emergency exit row (unintentionally) seated next to 2 others from my group. I have decided to nickname everyone instead of remembering names, so that's The Saint (wife) and The Nightmare (husband). Live in Wiltshire, she's been to Peru, they used to race Afghans (the hounds, not the people, thankfully) and he has a penchant for the solo silver hoop earring look. Very nice couple, which means in 3 weeks time they will be the ones I fantasize about murdering the most.
Arrived at 'hotel' (not in MY book) to discover room involved sharing eensy double bed with Redfern (aka Suse, who I believe will be my tent-buddy:nickname pending). Complained about lack of twin room. Now lying in vast suite, alone, in the four poster honeymoon bed swathed in mosquito nets, listening to my taps leaking onto the marble basin: SCORE! Have to be up in 7 hours, so... Goodnight. Bricab (raccoon) is here too. I think he will be underwhelmed when the standard of the accommodation drops.
