Matatus

Everyone in Nairbi (jn fact the rest of Kenya and East Africa) travels by Matatu. They are minibuses which carry up to 14 people and are known for being brightly coloured and playing loud music as they go. They got a reputation for driving fast and reckless but in 2004 a law was passed saying all passengers had to wear seatbelts, drive at 50 miles per hour and have a yellow stripe painted down the side.

Nairobi

Arrived

Karibu Kenya.

After an 8 hour flight I arrived at Kenya Kenyatta Airport at 9 oclock at night. It was good to be able to speak Swahili again. The night was warm but not as hot as Oman!

I got a taxi to Silver Springs Hotel on the outskirts of Nairobi and went to sleep!
