| Well after traveling all over the world - Elaine misread the time of the flight from Nairobi to Johannesburg. We should have left at 4 am. We arrived in time to fly around 4 pm. The airport was in chaos because of the fire in the International Terminal on the day we arrived in Nairobi. The check in desks were only manned just before the flight - so we were unable to talk to anyone until just prior to boarding. With a cash bribe to the attendant at the flight desk - we managed to get on another flight and arrived about 1 hour later than expected. However - this mistake caused havoc the next few times we flew as missing our original departure caused the remainder of the flights to show cancelled. A lot of patience, persistence and not taking no for an answer went a long way to ensure our scheduled flights. However - we were met at - the Johannesburg Airport by the coolest dude - Luckey - in a Mercedes van! A private drive to Houghton Estate - a suburb of Johannesburg http://theresidence.co.za/ How lucky could we be - The Residence Inn in Houghton was an oasis of luxury!  |
