Saturday, July 14
End of day update from Sarah Brock:
Everyone is EXHAUSTED. We landed on time (early afternoon) and got through the visa process without concerns. Good news! All our luggage arrived with us! It was great to see our old friend, Ernest, and new friend, Moses, waiting as we exited the airport.
During the drive to TCDC from the airport, we caught a glimpse of the top of Mt Kilimanjaro, and the base of Mt Meru. We also saw cattle, goats, and donkeys being herded by kids and adults alike. The towns we drove through were busy - and a few people wanted to stop at the Saturday market! We didn’t, sadly. We had bungalows to get to!
The bungalows at TCDC are set up like dorm rooms. Two beds, two wardrobes, a long desk with two chairs, and a bathroom. The water pressure wasn’t great in the showers today, but it didn’t matter. It was refreshing to take one.
After settling in at TCDC and meeting the yard monkeys (they’re like squirrels in Charlotte), we ventured to Blue Heron (a favorite spot) for dinner. Pizzas, burgers, and spaghetti were eaten happily. But once our bellies were full, our team was ready for bed. 9:20 on a Saturday night and almost everyone is asleep on the way back to TCDC.
We’re leaving bright and early tomorrow for a safari day. We’re excited for what the day will bring!
