Day 1 - Tanzania

We woke at 3 am to catch our flight. Everything went smoothly at the airport in Dubai. We landed a bit late in Doha and had to speed race to our gate to catch our connection flight to Dar Es Salaam. The flight to Dar was 6 hrs. I was sat in front of the brattiest 6 year old in the Middle East. Before we even took off I was asking the kids dad to ask him to stop kicking the back of my seat. By the end of the flight, I had asked his mom and his dad both to ask him to stop. Oh maybe I should add that their small baby was screaming the whole time too. I didn't care so much about the screaming baby. You can't help that.....but a six year old kid should listen to his parents. Anyways, I was glad when that flight was over. We landed for a short while in Dar to drop off a bunch of passengers and back in the air for our final destination - Kilimanjaro International Airport. We landed at about 4:30 pm local time, got our visas processed and we're on our way to our 2 night home Bristol Cottages Bed & Breakfast in Moshi. We can walk outside the property and see Mount Kilimanjaro. The locals call it "Kili". We checked in and I thought I saw something interesting on the page before ours.....the person checking in before us....is Canadian! What a small world! We settled in our room and off we went for dinner at the restaurant in the B&B. Everything is home made to order. Can you imagine? I ordered a chicken wrap and even the tortilla was freshly made while we waited. Yummy food. We went back to our room for an early night since we were both exhausted from the early start on our travel day. Lights out 8:30 pm.
