The police escort was not available when Simon Hannah and Betty got to the border, as the coach that was alsioo to have been escorted had decided to wait another day.  Simon and Hannah decided to go without them and drove to kisumu where after advice from the police they stayed at the Imperial hotel  (1st  class service according to the guide book) with Betty in a locked carpark under surveillance ander their window. 

They had arranged to go in convoy on Sunday under police escort to Nairobi.
