Heading to Tana

Left Nairobi. We had a flight to Antananarivo this afternoon so we had plenty of time to pack the backpacks, enjoy breakfast in the garden and go to the mail office to send a letter. Left for the airport way too early - at 12:00 - but it is Africa, and everything can go wrong. So instead of getting to late for the flight we spent some hours in Nairobi airport which is about as exiting as boring wednesday at the office.
On the plus side - a very good cafe at the end of the terminal where we could hang out and watch TV and get a good lunch. And another plus - Africa's relaxed attitude towards airport security. Canned coke through security - no problem. Metal detector beeps when you walk through. No problem - just do it 3 times in a row and you are let on the airplane anyway.
Left the runway 10 minutes before scheduled. Somethings clearly not how it's supposed to be....
Had a short "tecnical" but scheduled landing in the comores islands before we finally arrived on time in Tana. At 21:00. No problems at the immigrations office, luggage arrived a few minutes later and a nice guy, Ejnar (spelled Aina) was waiting for us outside the terminal. Not difficult to spot us. We were among 4 mzungu's on the flight.
25 minutes drive from the airport through dark parts of the town until we arrived at the hotel. A very nice place on a hilltop. It seems so much different from Africa. So organised. Maybe Madagascar is the Sri Lanka of Africa. Everything seems to work in a very organised way. Let's hope it continues that way. No beer tonight in the bar. Everything is closed it seems.
