August 11, 2013 - Addis Ababa, Ethopia


Phew - we got our boarding passes to Addis Ababa, but no luck on the boarding passes from Addis to Dar.  Yikes!  Sure hope there is an agent and someone speaks English there!!

We flew on the worlds oldest 767, but made it!!  I think it may have been older than me!  It had a projection system for the safety video.  Needless to say, the seats weren't too comfortable and sleep was elusive. 

We arrived and exited the plane on the tarmac.  Good news, there was a bus for business class passengers and they took us to the right terminal.  Bizarrely, the flight to Dar went from the domestic terminal even though Tanzania is a different county.  When in Rome....

We got into the terminal and looked around....no agents in sight.  OK...breathe!  Ah, there is a business class lounge.  In we went and lo and behold, we got our boarding passes here, so are set for the flight to Dar Es Salaam!  Yeah!

The business class lounge was a picture of world travel....


People from all cultures were there and we had a good time people watching.

Before we knew it, we were on our way to Dar. We arrived in Dar without issue and cleared customs quickly since we had our visas.  Our driver was waiting with a sign!  Off to the Hyatt and a shower!

We highly recommend the Hyatt Kilimanjaro in Dar.  It is an amazing place with incredible food.

Enjoy!
