APRIL 8/9TH
Doesn't matter which airline it is, 8 hours in the air is offically Dante's 9th level of hell...pushed through the utterly diabolical stage at 3.00am 5 hours into it and no end in sight, watching Robert Redford in the lone sailor movie 'All Is Lost'. Ayone who wants to know what its like when it really goes shit-shaped at sea, watch this. Suddenly what I was going through no longer felt so awful - that's a thought, maybe they put it on deliberately....
Cabin lights on like the interrogation centre in a N Korean jail, the nastiest croissant ever carelessly slung on a plastic tray and we fnd ourselves bumping and sliding across the tarmac at Nairobi Kenyatta airport and into what can only be described as the epitome of a rosy tinged African dawn, complete with giant umbrella trees at the top of which perch whole squadrons of the biggest vultures I have ever seen, ready to pick up runway-kill , presumably.
