moshi

after a quite bumpy-but-happy-my-organs-still-are-at-their-places busride, we safely arrived to Moshi yesterday afternoon. if that kind of a travelling wont make you get to know one another well, nothing does. hehe, but thats also the nice (and sweaty) part of it all.
it's so lovely to be back. I just love this place.. the african vibe and the swahili everywhere, gives me goosebumps. our feet are dirty from dusty roads.. white clothes turn brown during the day, everyone are moving in slow-motion and are so nice. today we've been around a bit in town, but its a sunday, so most things were closed. the temperature is so great tho', not too hot, yet warmer than nairobi.. during the afternoon we met up with Ally, our guide from when I lived here 4 years ago. sp great to see him again! he's taking us on safari tomorrow, so we had to plan things. he took us home to his place, where we played with his gorgeous daughter sonja for hours before he drove us home again. hehe.. african vibes..
the safari will be awesome. we're going to ngorongoro cratewr, lake manyara and tarangire (google it), and he has this typical safari range rover with a rooftop to stand in! and huge tires! so I cant wait to just drive around in the middle of no where in that car.. while spotting hippos and buffalos far away. we'll be back from the safari on wednesday. spend some more days in moshi, before heading off to dar es salaam and the finally zanzibar.. aah..

by the way, i had the coolest dream last night.. I dreamt that my dad bought me a rechargeable living giraffe! one had to pull the plug when it tried to run away, then it stopped running.. after the lamas.. which also ran around there.. but they weren't for sale tho'.. aanyways, I love having african-gadget-dreams.. such a great start of the day.

to sum it all up; we're still fine! and really enjoing it all...and im still geeky
