Back in Nairobi after saying goodbye to the Mara, Fairmont and staff. Last night had the wait and kitchen staff give us a cake, along with “Hakuna Mata” song – all very embarrassing. Our waiter won best service staff for Fairmont worldwide – can see why.
No car delivered to hotel, no answer at phone, and trip out to Budget Rent a Car Kenya determined that we’d hired from Kenya Budget Car Rentals, aka Budget Car Rentals, Kenya, and a few others all to lure one into thinking the hole-in-the-wall operation was truly global. Anyway we’ve been promised the car for tomorrow morning (sigh).
Gill got the flu – either that or African sleeping sickness. Going out to the Trat tonight (there’s one in every city), then hit the road tomorrow, vehicle permitting.
