Dar es Salam

The city is bustling with crammed buses and 4x4 vehicles charging about without even a cursory nod to road rules. It is also oppressively humid. Today we spent around three hours walking around in 35 degrees of sticky heat, sorting out money and trying to find a safe place to leave the Landy while we spend a couple of days in Zanzibar. We also needed the internet to apply for our Rwandan visas in advance, but every internet cafe we came across was inoperational due to rolling blackouts.

As the afternoon wore on we decided we werent going to get ourselves sorted out in time to take the last ferry to Zanzibar for the day so we headed to the ferry that would take us over to the south coast. Cue more motor chaos.

 We are now camped on a pristine white sand beach with azure blue sea and palm trees etc and have decided to spend a couple of days chilling here before heading up towards Arusha to pick up the new carnet (hopefully).
