24/10: Getting back

When we woke up we were met by rain, rain that kept coming down in incredible amounts. We were at the bus station at 8 am and we left/we were supposed to leave at 8:30 am. We had to pay more money to have our bags with us and then we were off. Stopping only for one break before we were in Arusha at 5 pm. Then we had a very quick goodbye before Laura and I got into a cab and went home, because the bus station was so busy and there were so many flycatchers. When we got home I started packing the rest of my stuff because I am leaving for Kenya tomorrow. It feels weird to get back, but having to leave again so soon and this time for good. Freja wrote me asking if we wanted to meet for dinner so we could have a proper goodbye for me. When we went to say that to Grace and Patrick we saw that Patrick was grilling meat for us, so we amended it to meeting for dessert afterwards. I had my last chocolate chip milkshake something that has been a kind of tradition for us. We talked, agreed to stay in touch and said goodbye. I had my last drive with Imma on the way home. I wanted him to be the one to drive me to the airport, but “it is not his turn” and “it wouldn’t be fair to the other drivers.” I said that was just bullshit (I surprised even myself in doing that), but she wouldn’t budge. Seriously what does it say about Project Abroad Tanzania that they won’t even let me drive to the airport with a driver I know and trust, but want me to go with someone I don’t even know instead? Nothing good, that are not worth all the money we spend on them and that is a lot. Why this? When we got back we watched a movie and went to sleep. My last night in Tanzania, for now.
