Today we head back to the main land and Dar Es Salaam. Another lazy morning. We pack up our stuff and have breakfast in the hotel. After breakfast, we check out, but they let us keep the room. We head out and take care of some things, including checking our emails at an internet cafe. We finish writing our postcards and post them. Prior to heading off to the ferry we have some lunch.
At the ferry, we have to clear through immigration and we then board the ferry. We are on our way with a slight delay. This ferry is not as nice as the one we had coming over and we decide to sit outside, where it is a bit cooler and the air is fresher. As we head out, we get a good view of Stone Town and the Tembo House Hotel.
After about a 2 hour ferry ride, we arrive back in Dar. We struggle through the crowds and finally make it to the truck, where we load up our stuff and head off. We head back to Mikadi Beach Resort for the night, getting there just before 5 PM. After setting up out tent and getting our bags re-organised from the Zanzibar trip, we head over to the bar for a few drinks. After dinner, it is back to the bar. A few people are trying to beat the record for the most number of slushies and I will be interested to see how they feel in the morning - they are vicious drinks.
We sleep in our tent on the beach. Another great night sky.
