Jambo Inn, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. Tuesday 17th August


On Sunday we said our goodbyes to the Bull's at Manchester airport, then realised we had no travel insurance. A quick panic and fiddle on the netbook later - we were sorted.
The flights were really smooth, both of us slept a little and watched a couple of films. I tried to watch Rocky but it sent me to sleep before the best bits.
4 Hour Stop over in Dubai was quick - getting off the plane to 40oC heat was a bit of a shocker at 6am, then a few hours of interrupted sleep on some reclining chairs in the airport then onto the second flight to Dar.

Dar seems like a friendly city, with a mix of African, Indian and Arabic cultures. The food at Jambo Inn is mostly Indian, no sign of ugali yet (East African staple food made by mixing cornflour and water)… I’m sure it won’t be long though!
