Trip to Tanzania

Hello Everyone. I thought id tell you that im in tanzania now! haha

So for the past two days ive been traveling by Road from Uganda to Tanzania (stopping in Kenya for the night) and many troubles have arose. For Example, when we got to the Tanzania border I think, when I was applying for a visa to stay in the country, I didn’t fill out what type of visa I was applying for and they just put multiple (which means you can go in and out of the country as many times as you want in a set amount of time) because it was more expensive, so I ended up paying 100 dollars just for less than one months stay… Then, we had a problem (at the same border) with the truck we were taking that had some sound equipment and other instruments and they were going to make us pay an unnecessary amount of money. So then we had to try and estimate the value of everything in the truck (which I don’t really know why…) and while we were trying to negotiate everything it took about three hours and we came to the conclusion that we would leave the truck and some people would go back to get it. So all of us (I think around 16 Ugandans 2 Kenyans and one white guy… me.) finally left. (ohh that’s another thing, they closed the gates on the border but they let us through… thankfully.) Then, as we were stopped on a routine police check (on the road usually they just ask for papers, if that, and say go.) and they asked for our papers (passports, but for people that weren’t me, meaning everyone else, they were actually paper. But still a passport) and we found out that most of the papers were left at the border. I had my passport with me, so don’t worry about that… haha. But anyway, I was in the car that drove back to the border on a trip that shouldn’t have taken 20 min one-way (more like 50 haha) and during the middle of all this its already pitch black out side. But regardless of those troubles we made it fine and im at a quite lovely hotel.

I have some great Pictures for you too! oHH! Haha yeah. So we stopped in Nairobi, Kenya to shop for some things we needed for this trip. That shopping center was awesome! It was kind of like walmart in the sense that it has almost everything but it was nicer and way cooler and had an internet café. Too bad I didn’t have time to use it… ohh and on the way in Kenya up kind of in the higher hills of the Great Rift Valley it was actually chilly and had forests of pine and evergreen trees. I thought I was in Europe, or possibly in the northwest. It was very strange.

Hey, its raining.

“do not worry about anything, instead pray about everything. “

I think that sums up my trip so far.

ok so as for the pictures... they will come later. i will have a good bunch and maybe a vid. =)
