The November rains have arrived. We've been getting intermittent showers since we arrived in Dar but last night the sky opened and drowned Arusha. The upside of this is that Mt Meru is mostly visible with only the peak shrouded in mist, the downside that the streets are flooded and I got very wet.
We stopped by DHL to see if they could tell us if the carnet was on the way - they advised there were no parcels in the system from London to Arusha for any Duncan or Irvine... so Duncan called the RAC again and they're going to get it on the courier this week and send it to Kigali in Rwanda.
Otherwise in Arusha we dodged touts trying to sell us tours to Ngorongoro and Kalahari and changed lots of Tanzanian shilling into USD as ATMs in Rwanda are reputed to be unreliable and you require USD for many payments anyway - like visas or gorilla tracking permits.
