Today we went on a spice tour which was cut short and was rushed due to unexpected rain. It was cool though because we got to hold and smell all of the spices right off of the plant. Then we hopped on the ferry to Da Es Salaam. This seemed like a good idea in theory, but was a huge mess in practice. The ferry was like a giant speedboat. It went so fast! It was obscene! Plus, the water was really rough and choppy causing the boat to toss and jerk back and forth. On top of the turbulence (does that term still apply for boats?) the cabin was not air conditioned and As such was hotter than hades. Due to these factors, a ton of people got sick. I spent most of the ride on the back of the boat tending to and comforting a student who was violently ill and ralphing over the side of the boat. I'm everyone's mama.
Day 17: Spice Tour & Giant Speedboat
Sucky ferry ride aside, we arrived in Dar and made or way to the Tiffany Diamond Hotel which was very nice. Amber and I even have a bathtub in our room! It's the first one I've seen here and you better believe I'm going to take a swim in it later!
I suppose that's all for now, lala salama! ❤️🌍
