Layover in Zurich was only about an hour but it was great to see German again (same with hearing and seeing it on the flight). The flight to Dar es Salaam in Tanzania was about 10 hours with a short stop in Nairobi, Kenya to let pasengers off and to refuel. I changed into a dress at this point b/c we were supposed to make a good impression upon arrival. Andrea, our Country Director (CD) met us at Customs and we got through very quickly. All the bags arrived without incident too (picture)! The bags were loaded onto an armored truck and we got into 2 buses/vans. When we arrived at Msimbazi Centre, we were given sna
cks and malaria prophylaxis pills. We all have our own room at this hostel and even our own bathrooms with flush toilets! Before bed, I explored the grounds a bit with 4 others then took a shower - running water too! Slept under a mosquito net for the first time to keep from getting eaten alive by the numerous little buggers. Smaller than back home but still itch when they get you!
Yay Africa! I went back to a couple entries I read before when I saw you added pictures. On that note, Ashley and I would love a picture of you under your mosquito net. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'll try to get one Court :-). Even though there aren't mosquitoes at my site (yay!), I rigged the net up to keep other insects and arachnids out of my bed. Except, kitty likes to try to climb it...
