Earlier than planned departure from Dar.

Conference finished yesterday and although my plan was to remain in Dar for a few days I was unable to change my flights and therefore had to fly back today. I had considered coming back by car with some VSO vols I met at conference, the trip would have taken two days of driving 10 hours a day, however last night was so hot and the power cut in the night meaning no fan and no AC so sleeping was a no go. At 2am I decided to just cut my loses, ditch the road trip and just catch my taxi to the airport. 
We've just arrived at Mwanza and the weather here is a whole different story.....from 33 degree heat we've stepped off the plane into torrential rain and the temperature here is nothing like in Dar. Im soaked and cold : ( I'd prefer this weather tho as the heat in Dar was unbearable. 
I feel disappointed as I was excited for a few days relaxing and also planned to go shopping in Dar and get my computer fixed and I had no time to do these things during conference. That said I've just managed to get a number for a computer guy in Bukoba and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he'll be able to help me.
I met my host families son last night in Dar and gave him the senaynay, he was very happy and made a quick exit to go home to eat them! We've arranged that next time I'm in Dar we'll meet and he'll show me round and take me to all the best places. I'm going to get planning for a trip away somewhere between now and new year as I still have 7 days leave to use between now and 7th feb.....any ideas and suggestions are welcome!
