Today we slept in a bit. The safari yesterday must have taken more out of us than we thought. It was well worth it though. After a brunch of pancakes/crepes, bacon, fresh fruit and banana bread, we set out into town to use the internet machine. We have a few decisions ahead of us. As it looks right now, we are going to cancel our flight from Dar on Monday so we can keep recovering from malaria and take a safari before leaving from Kilimanjaro airport on Friday or Saturday. We will probably still fly into Delhi despite the recent terrorist attack to the east of Darjeeling in the northeast.
After using the internet, we went back to Shidolya safaris to talk about taking a 3-day one again. We got him to a price we liked, then told him we'd be back the next day to finalize and pay him. Which we had every intention of doing until we got home and talked to the people at the dinner party, who persuaded us to compare with more companies, as Shidolya wasn't the best.
The dinner party was really fun - the people in Suzanne's social circle are really interesting! We got more safari advice, and talked to a judge who was making a documentary about the Rwanda Tribunals, a U.S. social worker, a bioenergy engineer from Israel, and some people who worked on the tribunal. It was a great party!
Although we were tired when the party guests left, we had a hankering to watch 'The Lion King', seeing as there are so many Swahil words and names in it (and to get us in the mood for a safari!) so we had a screening before bedtime. Of course Suzanne couldn't help but make fun of us. Asante sana squashed banana...

You used the internet machine? Sounds more like something with a handcrack than an actual computer.
