We arrived safe and sound at 10pm last night into the Fairmont Norfolk in downtown Nairobi after two long flights, total 17 hours flying time, with KLM. Good service and lots of movies to choose from. We were bopping in our seats watching Paul Simon and his interviews and clips from the "Under African Skies" DVD when he was talking about the making of GRACELAND back in 1987 and all the political fallout from that due to the apartheid restrictions - watch it if you get the chance. It is from 2011 on the 25th year Anniversary of the original recording of GRACELAND and the world tour with all the South African artists and Paul Simon.
The staff at the Fairmont Norfolk were as welcoming as ever when we arrived, and soon had us checked in and into our room - cold water and a fruit plate with those wonderful tiny bananas waiting for us! We were so glad to finally fall into bed just before 1am. We are heading out at 7am but will send more later.
