Replying to @flyethiopian
@flyethiopian you denied my parents boarding saying that their permanent residency visa for Kenya didn’t have an expiry date. It’s permanent. There is no expiry date. As we tried to explain to your staff. You then tell them to get a last minute ETA for Kenya… how does someone living in a country respond to these requests? You were setting them up to fail.

Digging up crabs

These Indian house crows are a biodiversity nightmare along Kenya’s coastline. You see them eating all the crabs, small marine animals trapped in rock pools and they must be decimating other indigenous bird populations. My dad told me when he first moved here - decades ago - pest control used to throw nets over trees where they would roost and gas them. People were paid to bring in dead crows.

We had a scary experience in January when our tyre blew on landing…
But why do planes always seem to crash-land at Wilson Airport?
