Jambo from tanzania!
So we arrived yesterday morning to find my luggage hadnt arrived and was still in Naribo! But it later turned up at the hotel so not too much hassle to sort out.
It is so very hot here...charlotte,re pack all your stuff and take out ANYTHING that is not light and made of cotton you will not need it!certainly no jumpers or trousers!And make it all a size bigger to accommodate for the swelling..our hands and feet are huge!
We spent yesterday sleeping mostly with the sound of a generator outside our room as there is no electricity during the day here,think it come on about 7pm for the night,although to my dismay it must have gone off in the night as our fan stopped and all the lights outside went out!The only good thing about not having hot water here is that you don't need it at all!
We went in search of a 'shop' to get some dinner and came back with a bag of funny little round balls which were either potato or lentals with spices and packets of crisps..to add to the 4 massive bottles of water we had got through.
Today we are waiting at the airport to fly to Arusha (on experiencing the heat we decided not to take the bus as it would take 10 hours!) the flight is only 1 hour though (goodness knows how small the plane will be!)
We are very much looking forward to arriving in arusha where we have a lovely hotel booked and fingers crossed it has a swimming pool too! Then we can relax and adjust to the heat and culture (which was also a huge shock) before we start work on monday.
Miss you all (and my bed!) x
