Let's say that traveling with kids isn't always smooth sailing. The alarm was set for 3:45am however our Littke Miss 2 decided that 3:30 was a better time to wake up and demand Duggee her favourite tv show. All attempts to convince her otherwise failed so we had to give in to the Temper Dragon. Unfortunately the tantrums didn't finish there. Miss Grumpy continued until we were airborne and again on arrival in Kilimanjaro international airport.
We were sad to say goodbye to the Serena and Kenya, however we are determined to be back sooner than we were this time.
FYI fellow travelers Kenyatta Jomo airport in Nairobi has 4 security checks prior boarding - you can understand why given the history but with bags and kids it is challenging. The first check is at the airport perimeter with all car passengers to go through a security check while the car is checked, then only passengers are permitted in the terminal and passports are checked and all bags are scanned. The next is the fingerprint and passport scanning. Finally there is the mandatory LAGS check, and phew we are ready for our flight and a much needed coffee call made to Java House. (Side note: Kenya can grow the most amazing and yummy coffee, but someone seriously needs to instruct the Java House crew to make it. One would think that a flagship store would know how to brew a good coffee. This trip has been a chronicle of bad and even worse coffee. So far Hungry- So so, France bad, Italy bad and Kenya mixed. The Serena has a barista girl that does a fantastic coffee and even cafe art. )
