Well hello all. We just wanted to give you a quick update while we wait for our 14 hour bus and ferry boat to Zanzibar. Ok, actually we are at the airport waiting for our hour long flight.
We have spent the last few days in Arusha and on safari in the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarengire NP. We spent 2 days driving around the bumpy park roads and managed to see a plethora of wildlife. I won't list the birds, but in one day we managed to see 4 of the BIG 5. A half dozen lions, dozens of elephants, gazelle, wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, and coolest of all....the black rhino. There are only 26 of them left in Ngorongoro and we saw a mother and a baby...very cool. We even got to stay at a wonderful farm house lodge.
When we returned to The Outpost B&B in Arusha, we were pleasantly surprised to find Mike waiting in the cafe for us. We spent the past couple of days catching up about our Tanzanian adventures and his Icelandic and are now on our way to Zanzibar!!
Sorry for the lack of pictures, but who wants to spend the time uploading them when in such beautiful surroundings? If there is reliable internet in Stone Town we will see what we can do.
Everything is great.
Love,
E & S
