A Day in Dar

On Tuesday, May 20th, Sarah and I had the whole day to spend in Dar. We woke up around 8 a.m. and ate breakfast at the hotel. Then we got ready for the day and headed off to what was supposed to be a botanical garden. It ended up really just being some grass and some trees. Nothing really even had the names on it explaining what it was and where it was from. On the way there, Sarah had asked me where the monkeys were, and I told her that I didn't really think there were any wild monkeys in Dar since it was a city and all. I hadn't seen any monkeys all the nights I spent in Dar. When we got to the botanical garden though, there were a bunch of monkeys hanging around! After that, we walked to KFC and had an ice cream cone. We then just walked around for a little. We were trying to just stay out until the place we wanted to eat lunch opened at 12:30. We ended up having a lot of time left so we walked to the Grand Casino and had a drink while we waited. Finally, it was lunchtime so we walked to the Hyatt for their lunch buffet. It ended up being so expensive and we had no idea! It cost us about $75 for lunch! So crazy. We were so tired after that so we ended up taking a nap. We slept almost all day because we knew we weren't going to get much sleep that night because of our flight. We woke up and decided to go to the supermarket for some snacks. After that, we went back to the hotel where we read for a little bit and then proceeded to go back to sleep at around 10:30. We had to wake up at 2 a.m. to go to the airport to catch our flight to Kenya!
