Wade from Vagabond Journey runs a second story
I wrote a 2nd article for Wade on Vagabond Journey, after all, he did say, "I called it part one because you can't leave us hanging like this!"
The first post dealt with the topic of finding myself 'stuck' and the situation in the first week. Things naturally change. Sometimes there are no changes to report. I didn't go out for some days. It may have been a week. Maybe just a few days.
And then I noticed things that had changed. A noticeably reduced amount of activity on the streets. The commercial flower industry has shut down. Most, if not all of the hotels are closed as no tourists are coming and the roads into and out of Nairobi are blocked, so there are no domestic visitors either. There is no public transport running to anywhere except within the state of Nakura.
Lots of people have lost their jobs. Some, like my guys here, are on 50% salary. In a town with no jobs to be had, this is a disaster.
Part 2 entitled Corona Diaries: Nomadic Backpacker Stuck In Kenya, Part 2 deals with the changes I saw on the streets and touched briefly on the matter of my own situation of being unable to go anywhere.
