After the safari we didn't arrive back in Arusha until around 9pm, so we stayed In the same hotel we were at before the safari. We used wifi to book a flight to Dar the next morning.
When we got to Dar we got a taxi and stayed at Q Bar. We stayed in the backpacking room, which is only $12 but you may have to share it with other people. Luckily, no one else came and we had it to ourselves! We explored a bit and ate at an awesome pizza place.
The next morning we stopped at a grocery store and bought some food to take to Tom's ( my dad's best friends friend). He lives in an amazing apartment.
The first thing we did was take the first hot shower we have had in weeks. Then, we used his kitchen to make eggs for breakfast. It was fun to cook our own food again!
Tom took us to dinner later on. He had so many amazing stories. He is such a nice guy and we can't wait to visit him again!
The next day was our last, we were being picked up for the airport at 9 pm so we spent the afternoon enjoying our favorite local beers on the beach.
We were sad to be leaving, but also excited to get home. There are so many things we take for granted at home that we were really looking forward to.
When we got to the airport, we were told our flight was delayed 4 hours. That was awful. By the time we finally got on the plane I was feeling sick. It continued to get worse, and after the 24 hour travel time I was officially sick. Luckily Jake was fine, and after a few days of being home I am now much better! We were told that would probably happen so I wasn't surprised.
Our trip started with disappointment, but it turned into an incredible adventure. I feel so lucky to have experienced so many amazing things with Jake. We really learned so much and met so many interesting people. I hope we can continue to travel and I really hope we can go back to Tanzania. It is a wonderful place!
