Saturday, Oct 29. No photos This was a long day of travel. “African Massage” (rough road) drive to small airplane. Flight to another airfield. Transfer to a (relatively) large airplane. Flight to Nairobi. Van to hotel to pick up left bags. Drive to border, eating (or not, in my case) a box lunch. A smooth road! Heaven. Except for lots of speed bumps. Got through customs to leave Kenya and enter Tanzania, fortunately both in a single building. Transfer to another van required wading through a crowds of women selling stuff. Neither van had AC worth mentioning.

Minor sand storms. Rain is desperately needed. Stopped at a typical weekly market. Depressing. Small boys tagging along trying to sell us sewing needles. All five of us are well-traveled OAT people, so foreign markets are nothing new. We could have skipped it.

The hotel/resort is okay. Nice bar. Has a Bar Beagle(?). Kilimanjaro beer. South African Footprint Pilotage Rose. Nice outdoor dinning venue.
