Julie and I are in the reception lobby having a bite to eat before being collected and taken to IAA.
Heavy thunder storms last night. Reminded me of camping in the USA last year. Was happy to be in a hotel!
Slept like a log until 8:30. Nice rooms as you can see from the pix.
The view from the balcony of room 504 in the Arusha Hotel
Been working away all morning preparing material for the lecture. Now heading to the Institute of Accountancy Arusha to meet everyone and deliver the lecture.
Everyone is very friendly and the drive to the campus was our first view of Tanzania in the daylight!!
The countryside and the town is very like India, just less people and more relaxed!
Julie and I are teaching in the new library building, which they are rightly proud. Its a new building but it has no lifts?! The view from our classrooms is spectacular! I took a pix with my phone.
Finished just before eight in the evening, and everyone seemed to have gone, including Julie!! Wondered down to the ground floor and found her near the library entrance with our waiting driver. Only problem was our vehicle was a pickup truck with a bench seat in the front. Julie and I squashed in and I sat in the middle. The other problem was that the vehicle was a stick shift!! The driver and I were in a difficult position every time he had to shift!!!
Met up with everyone else and ate a late evening meal at the hotel. Julie had a lamb shank that was huge!! We all had to help. I had an interesting dish of beef, bananas, veg and sour milk. Very nice. No problem finding meat and veg to eat luckily. A wonderful meal with good company on the hotel balcony.
