Arusha

I have come to Arusha in northern Tanzania for a couple of days for a meeting. After checking into a hotel in the busy centre I went for a very delicious chicken pizza whilst I tinkered on a report.

Arusha is cooler than Dar es Salaam and I even had to wear layers. The novelty and excitement of wearing joggers to bed was very real. However, it was a mistake staying in a hotel in a busy part of the city because through the night there was a lot of activity focused on the nearby market. At some point there was also a lot of eerie shouting and bursts of creepy music. It was best described as the sound you would hear in a horror movie during an abandoned arcade scene with a mannequin of a child grinning and wailing maniacally. It was not conducive to a nourishing sleep.
