Next stop...Nairobi

We left Istanbul in the evening. Fairly easy getting through security at the aiport and an uneventful 7 hour flight. We arrived in Nairobi at 2:00am, the airport was a bit confusing at first and I'm sure some of that was due to lack of sleep. We  finally found an ATM and got through customs. Our driver, arranged by Tamara and Charlie was waiting for us as we exited the airport. We hoped in the car and were on our way. Our driver welcomed us to Nairobi and gave us some information on the different areas we drove through, it was so dark it was hard to get any kind of bearing. As we pulled into Runda, their community, we passed the US and UN Embassies. Tamara and Charlie welcomed us at 3:00am with warm hugs and huge smiles. They even had a bouquet of roses in our room for us to celebrate our engagement. And because they are such wonderful hosts, had bottled water, ear plugs, and eye masks to help us get a good nights sleep. We felt so bad arriving so early in the morning, but we were all so excited to see eachother.
