Exotic Man Eating Fish

But first, we must report that we saw one of those huge A380 air busses on the tarmac at the airport in Washington.  Our A330 could have fit inside it with a twin sister; all they would have had to do is fold up their wings.  But off to Kenya through Amsterdam we went on our 330 right on time.

 

Then, only 8 hours later, what a surprise, and in the last place you’d expect – man eating fish at Shiphol airport in Amsterdam.  If I hadn’t seen them with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it either, not only doing the unspeakable act but doing it within range of my Kodak Star Flash.  I have attached unretouched photographic evidence for you to examine.    I saw them eating two people, a young man and a young woman right there in the “sacrifice” tank on the main drag between concourses F and G.  By the time I rushed to get my camera and got back to the scene of the crime, both the man and the woman were completely devoured.   James Bond would have been shaking in his shoes.  Look at the people in the picture if you don’t believe me.  See, there they are – gone!

We got out of the airport just in time and were certainly spared the fate of a slow agonizing death by millions of tiny teeth.  But, did this incident portend things worse yet to come?   Perhaps.   Eight hours in the middle seats of the middle section of a big 747 on the way from Amsterdam to Nairobi made it seem so.   

Not all was bad this day, however.  We were greeted at the Nairobi airport by our friend David and an unusual heavy January thunderstorm.   A sign of good luck in Kenya is when friends show up and it rains, so we are told.

Now we’re all snuggled under our mosquito net, ready for visions of baby elephants to dance in our heads.

 

See you tomorrow.  T&S
