This will be short as I am positively starving at the moment and have to rush back to Langata, pack, and come back into town to stay overnight at my favourite Hotel Greton. Jackie found out this afternoon she has from tomorrow til Sunday off, so we are rushed. I got passport pictures for a Tanzanian visa, bus tickets, the hotel room, and tried to get the visa but that part of the office was closed. So now I have to get the visa at the border. Oh well.

The bus leaves at 5:30 in the morning, and is supposed to get into Dar El Salaam at 7:30 in the evening. Long day! We'll overnight in Dar and then to Zanzibar the next day. I surprised Jackie though and suggested we check out flights back - as long as it doesn't cost an arm and a leg I like a one hour flight better than a return 14 hour bus ride!

I managed to take some pictures of Emma & Pauls' new house that they're building and the surrounding area. It's a fairly well to do neighbourhood, and the house has three bedrooms, kitchen, toilet and shower, and living/dining room.

Oh, and to repeat myself from last time, value your washing machines. I did some laundry yesterday.
