We left Amsterdam, carrying 37kg backpack in total. We thought we couldn’t make it to the metro
and was tempted to just get a cab. We were told that the cab to Schipol would be
around 40 euros which seemed insanely expensive for a poor student like myself. We
decided to suck it up and carry our monstrous bags for just 6 euros and save up. Upon arriving in Schiphol, I was so frustrated that it didn’t have unlimited wifi. Maybe it is not a common thing to have in
Europe. We waited about 3 hours for our
plane, becoming slightly anxious for the actual part of our trip. KLM and Kenya airways have a partnership so
we went on Kenya airways. The plane was
extremely spacious and more comfortable than KLM which was a surprise to me (for some reason). Possibly because I associate Kenya as a developing country and expected their services to be at a lower quality.
At Schipol. We were so tired and didn't really care about what others thought of us sitting on the ground.
June 21st
The moment I stepped out of the Kisumu airport, I finally felt like I was in Kenya. The soil was reddish brown, and green everywhere. People riding in mutatus, motorcycles (Boda bodas), goats on the roads, scorching hot sun and people honking and waving at us because we are muzungus (white). The children were especially excited to see us. They waved, yelled out “How are you” and everyone in the community wanted to shake our hands. This place definitely knows how to make you feel welcomed.
