The time had come to leave for home.
One of the last things we did before leaving was to go down to the beach and say goodbye to the people we met there.
We had promised to drop off shampoo/soap that we had not used at the hotel. Even left some of our kids clothes to one of the merchants. He had slightly younger children and ours where just about to grow to big for the them so better that someone got use for them.
Remember Kenya is rather poor and people will much appreciate even the smallest help you can lend them.
Our flight was scheduled for early evening but we would have to leave our rooms before noon. This posed a bit of a problem as it's not that fun to hang around with luggage and kids. So we kindly asked if we could hold one room. "Hakuna matata", no worries and so they solved it. That's customer care.
The trip home went without any hickups.
We got to experience the domestic flight between Mombasa and Nairobi.
The airport in Mombasa is one of the smallest and most primitive airports I've ever seen.
When it was time to board they came out and fetched us first and they boarded families first.
What a nice gesture.
Arriving at Nairobi we got somewhat confused as when we came out of the domestic terminal we stood at the road. The situation however got solved quickly as we asked a guard where we should go and he pointed us to a nearby building on the other side of the road where the terminal for international flights were.
And again we experienced the same procedure, first they boarded business class and then families.
So much smoother if you can get your kids into the chair and put on a movie while they board the plane.
From there on it was just a long travel home via two airplanes and then finally train home.
