I have unfortunately spent the last three days housebound and feeling quite ill after contracting a stomach bug somewhere. I started feeling ill on Tuesday morning, but it got significantly worse Tuesday night through Wednesday morning, when I was really ill. I haven’t been able to leave my hotel room, but my lovely colleague Irene has helped me get groceries and medicines. I started feeling better yesterday, and today I ventured out for the first time since Tuesday night.
I met up with Sabrina, who I went to Aston University with from 2002 to 2006 and who I knew through a mutual friend. I knew that Sabrina was from Zanzibar, so when I finally found out that I was definitely going to Tanzania with work I immediately contacted her on Facebook and was very pleased to find that she was living in Dar es Salaam!
Me and Sabrina:
We had a delicious steak lunch at the Karambezi Cafe at Sea Cliff Hotel. Sea Cliff is a lovely place, situated on a cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean.

We chatted away over lunch and shared a delicious brownie for dessert:
I am planning on seeing Sabrina again this coming Friday and meeting her adorable daughter Sarah. I had such a lovely time today and I cannot wait to meet her daughter!

Hei Marte!
Du er en heldiggris som får oppleve så mye! Det høres så gøy ut å få reise til Zanzibar,deilige strender, safari, hyggelige og spennende kollegaer etc. Kos deg så godt du kan nå som du er blitt frisk igjen :)

Høres ut som om du har opplevd mye på de to ukene du har vært i Tanzania, selv om du har vært syk noen dager. Det må være spennende å oppleve Afrika på denne måten, og ikke bare som turist på rundreise. Her hjemme i Norge er det regn og rundt 0 grader. Nå venter vi bare på at den første snøen skal komme.
