I'm supposed to fly from Kampala on Kenya Air through Nairobi back to London a week from Friday. I'm hoping they will have at least the transit stuff sorted out by then! I would hate to have to change my tickets.

Perhaps they will rebuild something better? Unfortunate a lot of people are inconvenienced.

Cheers, Chris

The fire broke out on the 15th anniversary of the bombings by al-Qaida of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam but is not suspected of being an act of terrorism?.

There was not a single working fire truck available. The blaze was fought by officers passing buckets of water.

There was looting of cash and liquor by officers and employees. No use letting it go to waste I suppose.

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

I leave tomorrow to come back to Nairobi--all things I hear from Nairobi is the international terminal is up and running at 100%---
