JAMBO!!!
So... after a long and tedious flight with a lot of turbulence and plenty of food we arrived at about 9:00 in Dar Es Salaam, so no need to worry, we're in one piece! :)
We got a bus to the YMCA hostel where we partied hard until 2 in the morning.... only kidding, i mean, it was that time, but minus the partying bit... Oh! and we spotted our first few african animals!... but you should know, these included, a ghekko.... a lizard, a few bats, way too many mozzies and a cat with no tail ;) Unfortunately for Shannon, we haven't as yet spotted a lion :(
This morning after 4 hours of glorious sleep we were awoken by the screeching sound of the chainsaw next door and Petes chirpy wakeup call :) But we didnt have time to feel groggy, as the shower was the coldest shower any of us have EVER had... but we'll just call it 'refreshing' ;)
Currently, dripping of suncream and stinking of deet we're are finalising plans for the next few days and getting some essentials sorted. Later we plan on going to town to spend thousands of dollars on ethnic goods and some good african gormet foods.... SHOPPING SPREE!! Okay, not quite but we ARE going to get a nice range of exotic foods... you know... pasta, rice... beans? ;) YUM. nomnomnom :)
We best be off now, we have some serious Facebooking to do ;)
Would say, miss us loads... but... we know you already do ;D
Lots of love,
Elle, Shannon, Kerry and the rest of the TZN 2010 team!!! :)
