On the morning of Saturday, January 17th the group had to wake up pretty early in order to catch a bus that would take us from Arusha to Dar es Salaam. The bus was a very nice coach bus with comfortable seats and even a TV in the front that everyone could watch. The ride was going to take us about 8 to 9 hours so we all settled in for a long trip. Unfortunately, the bus left without Samson and he had to track us down. Somehow he got the bus to stop so he could get on and then we were really on our way. The trip was not nearly as bad as I think we all expected it to be. Although the bus only stopped once for a very short bathroom and lunch break, it was amazing to really see the country of Tanzania. Even though the air conditioning broke, everybody either slept, listened to music, talked with each other, or watched the movie Prey that was playing on the bus TV and the trip was done before we knew it. Once we arrived in Dar we were all extremely excited to see a new city and couldn't wait to get settled into our new hotel, The Golden Tulip. Overall, it was a very laid back day but it was exciting to see the country of Tanzania and get some much needed rest before our adventures began in Dar.
