5 June, Sunday Dar es Salaam wrong camp
It takes 4 hours to the outskirts of Dar es Salaam and almost
another 4 to negotiate through bumper to bumper traffic, but we are getting used
to this as well. We use the time to observe and enjoy the organized chaos of
African city street life – something really difficult to describe to others. It
is almost something you have to experience to be able to find a category for it,
because it is so foreign to anything we know.
Our camp is at South Beach and we take a ferry which cuts out 38
km by road. What we thought is the right camp site turns out not to be. It is
obvious that there were no recent campers. They have to clean the bathrooms and
showers, but we do have a guard for the night and Willie decides that we will
move over to the campsite, used by other over landers, the next morning.
The humidity and warmth remind me a little of Florida, although
it is not as humid.
