Evening All,
Just a quick update on today's events. They went something like this...
Woke up early
Went to the supermarket to get some bits for lunch. We also went to get cash, but most of the cash machines were empty so we had to wait a little bit until they were refilled.
Went to a craft market in Dar Es Salaam. This was really good and students and staff haggled their way to a wide range of purchases! The best bit of haggling goes to Ian Tuer who managed to get someone down from 275,000TSH to 60,000TSH.
Arrived at Dar airport 2 hours before our flight was scheduled to take off... FIVE HOURS, lots of crisps/sweets and several Sudoku later, we get on the 15 minute flight over to Zanzibar. Mr Moss was particularly made up as the plane had propeller engines. Something he had always wanted to go on...whatever floats your boat!
Upon arrival in Zanzibar, we got to the hotel, dumped our stuff, had a quick wash and got changed before heading out for an Indian meal - after all, we are on the Spice Island. We all filled out boots with traditional Indian dishes and some mavericks even took on dessert. The waffles and ice cream looked particularly good!
We then strolled back to the hotel for some shut eye before having a day of shopping tomorrow and a boat trip round the harbor at night! Lots to look forward to in our last few days!
