I’m back!
Our domain unfortunately expired two weeks ago and it’s taken a bit of time to sort it all out with the renewal. I finally managed to renew it for a further two years earlier today and now it’s back up and running again. I have two weeks’ worth of adventures to update you on!
Firstly, if you’d like to look at all the photos I have taken during my five weeks in Tanzania, here they all are:
Secondly, I have had some amazing adventures since the last time I wrote and I have experienced so much. I have met some wonderful people and seen some fantastic places. I can’t write about all of it now, so here is a list of the highlights:
- Flying in a tiny light aircraft to Zanzibar, the Spice Island
- Snorkelling off Bawe Reef and seeing the Great Northern Wreck
- Exploring Stone Town and seeing Forodhani Gardens and Beit el-Ajaib
- Staying at Mtoni Marine Hotel
- Having a back massage at the Mrembo Spa
- Having roast turkey at the Christmas party at Alliance Francaise
- Hanging out with Sabrina at Sea Cliff Village
- Visiting the National Museum and seeing Dar es Salaam city centre
- Being ‘Ladies Who Lunch’ at the Golden Tulip Hotel on Tanzania’s Independence Day
- Seeing New Moon at Mlimani City
- Drinking cocktails with my colleagues at Level 8 bar at the Kilimanjaro Kempinski Hotel
- Dining in style at The Palm
- Going on a shopping spree for handmade African presents at the crafts market at Slipway
Tomorrow I am planning on going to South Beach with Laura, Monday is my last day in the office and Tuesday morning I fly home.
I am feeling ambivalent about going home. On the one hand I really miss Tulpesh and the cats and I can’t wait to go home to Norway for Christmas. On the other hand I have got used to living here and I will miss Tanzania and all the lovely people I have met!
