Westgate Mall Nairobi, Kenya

Pouring rain at Westgate Mall, Nairobi. I'm stuck in a very nice mall with 2 credit cards! What's a girl to do? I bought a lightweight hooded rain jacket for tomorrow. It is supposed to rain for the rest of my time here. Guess that makes up for the gorgeous weather at the start in Cape Town! 

Malls in Nairobi...high security. To be expected since they had a terrible terrorist attack in 2013...4 day standoff. This one, Westgate, is tightest yet. They have one street entrance and scanners. Well, of course, I set it off with my bionic knee. So was surrounded by security and patted down...except she didn't touch me. 🤣🤣 They have very large Belgian Malinois dogs with rather intimidating wire muzzles along with AK47s...the global rifle of choice. 

Did get a Subz sandwich for supper. Three meat delight: turkey, beef salami, beef pepperoni. 

Lunch was at Tapas for their special Beetroot carpaccio, Tuna and avocado ceviche, and HAM croquetas. All outstanding. Leftovers will most likely be supper and save Subz for another time...or maybe it is just "rent" so I can sit while the rain clears. The cookie worked in other mall.😉

Update...waiting for driver and only place near door to sit for 20min is Frost cakery...so Subz bag doesn't fool them one bit! Going for the espresso! And I took the farthest seat from the cakes!
