Day 9: Off to Safari

Today we finally get to feel like tourists and set off on the long drive to Ngorongoro Crater. We set off around 12 o'clock stopping in Arusha to go to a book shop to pick up some books for Keilah and Amys library. It was a very successful stop as we spent over 1 million Tanzanian shillings (10000 shillings is about 5 pounds). We had a late lunch at the snake park had a look around there and then a Masai Village which was interesting and then continued on the 5 hour journey to the crater.

The journey was pretty uneventful apart from seeing about 4 giraffes at the side of the road. Poor Keilah got very emotional as she had been really hoping to see a Giraffe and we knew there weren't going to be any in the Crater.

We arrived around 8pm at the Lutherin Hostel which we were staying at so we could get into the Crater nice and early, unfotunately being Lutherin there was no alcohol, but hey we are big enough to manage a day without :-)
