It was time for Kaefer to travel to Malawi again. She does this every year when she and a colleague from her team teach students two short courses in public health at a university in Mzuzu. This was her third trip to one of the poorest countries on earth and like every year she was looking forward to it.
They flew with Kenya Airways from Amsterdam to Nairobi where they had a layover of a few hours. Kaefer had to take a picture of the plane's wing - do you see all the duct tape? It reminds me of the planes of Egypt Air that I took back in 1996; they looked very similar.
However, they arrived safely at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi and were welcomed with a joyful Karibu (welcome).
There were many signs put up by the Kenyan Ministry of Health.
Now, here are two epidemiologists on their way to teach courses in public health. How do you think they spend their limited time in an airport in Africa? Well, of course they have fun taking photos of Ebola warning signs - what else?
The way Ebola spreads as well as the signs and symptoms of this disease were depicted very vividly.
You get all the information you need.
Thank you to the Kenyan Ministry of Health for still believing in science.
Our two epidemiologists eventually got on their connecting plane to Lilongwe, Malawi. They were very lucky to see Mt. Kilimanjaro from above without any clouds hanging over it.
After a stopover in Nampula, Mozambique, they safely landed in Lilongwe and took to the road to Mponela where they stayed the night (it's a long drive from Lilongwe to Mzuzu). Kaefer shot her first African sunset of this trip, surely eventually followed by many more.
