For those of you that know my itinerary, you're saying to yourself, "I didn't know he was going to Arusha." Neither did I. On approach to Nairobi from Dar es Salaam, airport lights went out so they diverted the plane to Killamonjaro.
After hours in the airport, they decided to put us up in a hotel for the night. So at midnight they load us into buses for the hour drive to Arusha for the "nearest" hotel. I think someone must have a deal going with the airline. Then it was back up at 3am for the drive back to catch the 6am flight.
I'm a little cranky, and tired. On the plus side, it was a beautiful view of Mount Killamonjaro from the airplane.
p.s. The gardens around Dar es Salaam are filled with a profusion of tropical flowers. I didn't get out to see too much more with the 95+ degrees and equal humidity.
