In the Air Again...

Our last night in Zan was nice. We took the day to just wander around. I bought an English newspaper from a guy who is doing his Math Degree in Waterloo.

The flight to Dar es Salem was uneventful. The whole flight took us 15 minutes. After checking into the Jambo Inn, we walked down to see some old churches on our way to the National Museum. The churches were nice. The Museum was fantastic! The displays on the history of Tanzania were very informative and I was definitely in my element.

We walked to a book store called "A Novel Idea" and by chance, ran into 2 Canadians. They are doing their masters on International Studies. They invited us to a cultural dance near our hotel and since they knew their way around, we agreed. It was very neat to see some local performers on an open-air stage. We walked home without incident. I had some type of beef kebab at the hotel's restaurant. It was decent. It was so luxurious to have power (lights and a fan) once again. I slept like a log.

This morning was an early one: 5am to catch our "7:45"am flight. One the taxi ride to the airport, we were almost hit by another driver. He swerved around us and hit the car in front of us. It was pretty scary, even our driver was doing some Hail Mary's. Turns out our flight was delayed and this caused us a great deal of stress because we would miss our connection in Kili airport. Everything worked out okay and we made it to Entebbe in one piece. We are staying at Green Valley again tonight. Tomorrow we are going to Kampala for a day trip then meeting the other girls for a trip to Chimp Island.
