First night in the hotel, which showed the side of Tanzania that clearly shows they are not quite there yet in terms of customer service as like with US hotels.
They mixed up our rooms giving us a single, instead of a twin and once you get inside it doesn't look a thing like the website. I can see why lonely books states that y ou don't get as much for your money.
Once that issue was solved, we wanted to settle in and then go to the bay. However, we were disappointed to hear that the hotel advised us not to go walking around at night. We knew that some areas were probably unsafe, but not the crowded, busy bay area of Dar es Salaam. So exploring would have to wait until tomorrow.
However, the night wasn't a total bummer. We met the entire group for a meal in the restaurant which was interesting. The fare was heavily Indian influenced with lots of curry, spicy dishes which I love. We toasted to our arrival and upcoming adventures and took some group photos. I hopefully will now remember everyones name. I ordered what I thought was a fish dish and turns out was some spicy shrimp thing called King Fish. I was disappointed that it wasn't actually the fish I was hoping for but all in all I was happy with the spices used. It gave the shrimp quite the kick!
We are exhausted after my non sleeping for 24 straight hours of travel. Until tomorrow.
