A day after we booked our tickets to fly to Kenya, 'Deadly fever spreads panic in Kenya' appeared as one of the headlines on BBC. The 'Rift Valley Fever' has so far claimed 148 souls this time round, as the fever is being spread to humans from livestock by mosquitoes and from eating infected meat.
We are mainting a positive attitude that the fever, which is mostly seen in the villages rather than in Nairobi will blow over in 4 months. If not, then we are on a strict vegetarian diet and will have to avoid the places where the fever is raging.
At the moment, I see this whole deal as someone / something having a great sense of humour. What are the chances of talking about getting tickets for weeks and months and then when we finally do buy the damn things, the very next day there is an epidemic stirring in our destination? Wouldn't someone call this bad karma?
