"Arrived in Kano late afternoon from lagos. Atmosphere was very dusty and could not see the ground approaching till we thumped onto the tarmac. Was a rather beautiful evening with the sun setting in the dust storm, quite funky lighting really. On the tarmac through the dusty haze you could see the silhouettes of a bunch of 747's undergoing 'maintenance', jet engines lying on the ground around them on the tarmac and a couple of locals having a 'bash' at some precision engineering. Would have loved to take a photo of the Jumbo's in the dusty atmosphere was really stunning but thought the better of it as would probably have had to pay a monster bribe for violating national security or some other bollox, usual story moment you pull out a camera. Tranquility did not last long and reality of fighting off the trolly hustlers kicked in as soon as entered the baggage reclaim area.  Out side the arrival lounge is far more chilled out than Lagos or Port Harcourt and the general qualities of the airport hustler are more refined or less aggressive how ever you choose to look at it. The rest of Kano is truly a disaster and not worth visiting if you can help it, though definitely recommend the fresh orange juice at the Prince Hotel. Probably the tastiest ever had."
