We're back in Amsterdam with a five hour layover between our flight from Nairobi and our flight to Seattle.
Quick trip summary:
Nairobi, Kenya: OK in general, but not my favorite place. Got to visit the game park one afternoon--saw a hippo(!)
Kigali, Rwanda: personal opinion is that it's nicer than Nairobi, although all the roads aren't paved yet. However, the paved roads are really nice. Sad history, promising future.
Lusaka, Zambia: I shot five+ hours of tape in roughly two days, if that's any indicator. The city is quite clean. It's kind of halfway between Nairobi and Kigali: the cleanliness of Kigali with some extra metro opportunities, like Nairobi. We stayed in a fabulous hotel. It was hot but dry and breezy. I liked Lusaka a lot.
Enough internet for now. I'll post some photos once I'm settled in again in the US.
