Back in Amsterdam
Greetings once again from the Amsterdam airport. It feels weird to retrace our steps. It's like seeing life in rewind. We had a pleasant enough bus ride from Songea to Dar es Salaam. It was hot and long but that is to be expected. It was nice to see some of the variety in Tanzanian geography. Unfortunately there are no interesting animal sightings to report. :-(
We then spent a night and part of the following day in Dar, did some shopping, went out for supper and boarded our plane late in the evening. Apparently, we bought too many wood carvings and had to pay off the guard who let us through this time but said, next time to get a certificate from the revenue office in town. ??? We have yet to see if we will be stopped at customs in Canada for the same reasons. Everything arrived here in Amsterdam in one piece, at least.
We had a slow day yesterday in Amsterdam. Slept a lot and went out for lunch and supper. That was about it. What exciting tourists we are! We even watched Crocodile Dundee II on the T.V. We are decompressing and preparing for the long journey ahead.
Look forward to seeing you all soon!
Hugs,
Chantal

I can't wait to see you!!
I told Nicholas you were coming home this weekend and he said "Finally!". He's been deprived of his Chantal for too long.

Nick and me both.
It'll be good to see you when you get back. I'm going to want a FULL Africa report from you! Pictures too!
I've been keeping up with the blog fairly religiouslly, but the lack of visuals needs to be remedied!
See you when you're home... which is probably already?
