8:20 in the AM, 8+ hours from Amsterdam (slept about 1/2 of that trip), now full of a double mocha and a hot dog and sitting in the airport's only cyber cafe, unable to plug in my laptop, so no pix for now.....flying in this AM, over the jungle was the sun came up, was awesome - saw Lake Victoria clear as day (kinda like Lake Tahoe in size) and Killimanjaro in the distance (dang, big hill !....in the landing approach, just as I was told, flew over a game preserve, and saw a herd of zebra's bolting in the wide open spaces - very clear and very cool to see, but my camera was up in the above bin, so no pix...
Was so caught up in yesterday's experience, forgot to write about one morsel - the Vincent Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam.....about a two hour walk-thru, in a building that's two stories and about 300 years old (or more?)....killer architecture inside and out, pristinely clean, but the artwork did nothing for me......
Killing 4 hours here in Kenya airport, no desire to venture out into Nairobi proper, so will just stay in the airport until hop flight to Rwanda..... maybe will be on a small leer jet and not a prop-job puddle jumper....plenty of those Kenya Airlines small jets all over the airport....humid as heck here in the airport, now sitting directly under a fan while I type.
Enough for now - going shopping for trinkets.....

KRIKEY...
you're a better traveler than I am, Gunga Din. I top out at 5 hrs.
Shoot, being geographically-challenged as I am (I admit it), I am going to have to follow along on a MAP.
...don't even get me started thinking about what time it is there (or if it's tomorrow there or something). [but I will research that as well] LOL
