Today is 26/9

Fun fact first, my bottle is manufactured by Super Meals.

It’s dark and we just arrived from sea safari. We saw a lot of hippos, and some crocodiles.   We where out for around two hours before we watched the sun go down. It was magical and I took a lot of pictures. So many that my camera went out of batteries. No problem I thought, until I got back to my room to find out that I forgot to bring the recharger. I left it where my father lives. Bummer. So guessing it will be few photos tomorrow. Which sucks, but not much I can do.

I forgot to tell how we got to the camp we’re at now. We drove for five hours instead of taking a plane. So we saw a lot of small villages and we drove on a lot of bad roads, but it was okay. And we’ve got to see a lot from the countryside of Tanzania. People don’t have as much as we do, but the look happy and satisfied with them self.

Now I’m sitting in my bed writing and I’m soon going to sleep. Tomorrow we’re getting up around six to go to a car safari. Will be super fun!

I’m also hearing a lot of birds, some insects, and the wind in the trees! Loving it! Good night.

Today is 25/9

Woke up six in the morning, but I think the time difference is about three hours. So guessing it was really nine. The reason for waking up, was that I got breakfast on the door. I’m living in a hotel. So I think my father sent it up. It was good, really liked the toasts. After that I went to bed again.

Now I think the clock is half past nine. Need to check with my father when I see him.

Was attending my fathers class and got a logical task about thinking outside the box to work with. Didn’t make it on my own, but it was very close…It was also cool to see my father in action, working, teaching.

Now I’m outside and going to read in my book, “Kafka on the beach”. While my father goes back to work.

Later on, on day two, sitting in a hammock. We’ve moved to a place next to the beach. It’s beautiful and the water is really warm! Oh, have I told you how beautiful it is here? It’s like a paradise. Green trees everywhere, friendly people and I just saw a gecko! They are so cool!

Today is 24/9

Sitting on the plane. Listening to music (podcast, Nocturnal Sunshine by Matt Darey). Can see down on a desert, guessing it is the Sahara. Also just got some soda water (sparkling) from the nice flight lady. I need to be more precise when O order something next time. Can’t just say soda or water, because I’ll end up with soda water. Don’t really like sparkling water, but it’s better then nothing, and I’m the one making the bad orders. Luckier I have some crunchy M&M’s to get rid of the taste. “Wonder if I can mix”, “nah, not much different”, but it remembered me that I need to take a malaria tablet soon. M&M’s are addictive.

No more deserts, more forest and savannas. Just been to the toilet. They are so small and cozy. Just the size you need. It was also good to walk a bit. Getting a bit stiff sitting for so long. The trip takes around eleven hours.

Iæve also read about sixty pages in a new book, “Kafka on the beach”. It’s very promising, make me really want to do the Poland trip I was planning earlier this year, but didn’t have money for. Next year!

First landing in Africa, Kilimanjaro Airport. Next stop Dar Es Salaam. So looking forward to it. I’ve also turned on Toto with Africa on my Zune! Can’t stop smiling! It’s a bit absurd being here. So far from home in a total different country with a total different culture. Wow!
