Last Full day in DAR
Now Playing: Nervous
It's Friday, July 30th.
Mbu helped me get a reservation on the ferry for tomorrow morning. $50 gets me and my bike to Zanzibar. The ferry leaves at 7:30am and takes 1.5 hours.

My bike is all together and ready to go and my bags are packed. I called Garden Lodge (our Zanzibar rendezvous point for the start of our Bike Africa trip) to arrange for someone to pick me up at the ferry when i disembark Surprise, surprise when they connected me to Jacki (from Vermont). She got a different itinerary and unintentionally arrived a day early. There is NO reservation for any of us at Garden Lodge for tomorrow night. Good grief. She is looking for other accommodations for all of us. We are lucky that she got there a day early, or we wouldn't have lodging for the night. I called David in Seattle and he hasn't had contact with our Tanzanian guides for months so no money was sent to pay for the rooms. Yikes.

Today i finally visited with and got to know Paulina who works in the internet cafe here. I want to take all these wonderful people home with me to America. I hope that somehow i can help some of these great folks to better their lives and maybe visit me in Spokane.
