2009-Jan 16th Tanga to Arusha Tanzania

Today the crew is separating into two groups. One group of five is going on safari to see the animals at several game parks. We will not see them again.

The second group of seven (including me) is off to Arusha to work the gem market. As a surprise to us, we landed on the ‘stop-at-every-bus-stop’ bus, again. It is moderately comfortable, but no air conditioning. Normally, the drive to Arusha on a direct commercial bus is 5 hours. But we were able to enjoy the ride for 8 hours.



Our broker showed us the way from the main bus station to position us in a local hotel. After check-in, he prepares us for what will happen in the next few days. We are ready, and excited. It can’t come to soon.


Our home for the next few days. Only served breakfast, but they washed our clothes and handled many small details for us, though it was a little 'rustic'. I'm sure if my wife came with me we'd be staying somewhere else!
