Askari (part 2)

We are still at the Mapenzi hotel with their not too savvy askaris.

Sunday, April 15th, 21:30.
• The hotel is about to close to renovate the pool.
• Isabelle, an employee of the Mapenzi hotel, is about to go back to Italy.
• Deborah and I are goint to Mapenzi, to have a last drink with her and to say goodbye.

Barrier, askari1: "Jambo!"
Me: "Jambo!"
Askari: "Why are you here?"
Me: "We come to swim."
Again a satisfactory answer, the barrier opens. And Deborah can’t hold her laughing: "How do you do that?"
300 m further, wooden gate, other askari: "Why are you here?"
Me: "We go swimming."
Askari2: "No, that's not possible."
Me: "Oh yes, it is only tomorrow that the pool will be drained, today we still can swim."
Askari2: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah", and the gate opens.

If we step inside het hotel, the pool is already empty ...

The question is: what if some terrorists are at the gate and say they come to swim? Will they be allowed inside as easy as us?

I am worried ...
