Uneventful Journey to the Airport Which was Packed When I Arrived
Not sure if there is a Pilgrimage or something but the ace was teeming with Indonesians or similar.
Found the Iounge and then a weird walk to the airplane. The gate was deserted and I think they had rounded up all if the economy passengers and shunted them off first.
I was fortunate to have a window seat, and an empty seat next to me. All looked good for an overnight flight to Addis Ababa. For the trip to work without jetlag it was essential that I slept on this opening flight.
Pleasant Layover at Addis Ababa
The lounge was spectacular
Impressive MRO facility and Ethiopian Airlines seem to have got their act together
Addis Ababa to Nairobi
What a dump Nairobi is. Airport a shambles, roads unfinished and people milling around everywhere. Just what I expected. Dusty. No traffic lights !
Watched the F1 and slept for close on 12 hours which overcame any jetlag.
This Blog has only recently been created (march 2023) and is based on my journal entries at the time that I made the trip.
Sad to say I was not impressed by Nairobi, but it was only ever a staging post for the journey to the Maasai Mara.
