Before we decided to move to Dar, I was told that it was an under developed place, where even some basic amenities like electricity and water was difficult to get. S was really worried and he had thought that I would have big time adjustment problems. But somehow this place took me by complete surprise. I fell in love with the place the moment I landed. There was this feeling of déjà vu that I had never experienced before. And before I knew it I took to this place like fish to water. I loved everything about this place. From the people, the wildlife, to the virgin beaches, to the language (Swahili). I fell in love with everything. To me this place was and is a place straight from a picture book.
Now that there is just a few hours left for departure, I am feeling the pangs of sorrow. I am feeling the same sense of remorse that I had felt while leaving Bangalore. But despite all the sorrow, there is also an excitement that comes with all things new. I just can't wait to get settled and start cooking in the new kitchen.
I have been to Nairobi before. But it was for a short duration and I was a tourist then. So I don't remember seeing much of the city except for restaurants and malls. Hence, I am leaving this place with the hope that my stay in Nairobi turns out to be as good as my stay in Dar es Salaam.
I will continue blogging once I settle down in the new place. Till then, kwaheri my friends!!!
P.S I am sorry if I am giving you an over dose of Sunsets. But this place has some gorgeous sunsets that i can't help but share.
