Travel to Dodoma and... making a splash

LEFT: The 'pool' I dived into (see below) RIGHT Picture of a Dar es Salaam market from the bus

Fairly non-eventful bus ride from Dar to Dodoma, although it took much longer than the advertised 6 hours... the bus driver was very careful! I met a couple of Bangladeshis who are working for an NGO who were very interested in HAT & Australia, and we are going to keep in contact.

The hotel in Dodoma is quite nice, soon after arriving hot and sweaty I decided to go for a swim in the pool and dived into this one. Shortly after, one of the waiters in the restaurant yelled "Bwana! Bwana! Hapana! ('Sir! Sir! No!') It is not a pool!". Apparently this was not the pool, I had jumped into something that was purely for display purposes. He then led me ingloriously through the rather nice hotel restaurant (topless and wrapped in my towel) to the real and much bigger pool. Oops!
