Day 3 – Saturday 30th January 2010

We have slept well but now we have jobs to do.

First stop is the bank to get some money. We have found a Barclays. We are now millionaires!

Second stop is to buy our bus tickets for the journey to Iringa, where our two week language course is being held. That was easy, Tz 36,000 shillings for us both, for 9 hours on a semi-luxury bus. (The easy way to work it out, though not the most accurate, is to divide the number in half and take away three zeros. 36,000 ÷ 2 = 18,000, take of three zeros =£18)

Finally is to get connected. We are now customers of Zain, and have our Tanzanian mobiles.

Tonight, we had dinner with a couple from Dar, working in education and health so some very useful contacts to add to our new mobile phones.

The bus leaves at 10:15am.
