It's currently 5:08 am in Tanzania and still dark enough to be the middle of the night. Five of us girls are posted by the side of the road with all of our luggage, hoping to be picked up by the bus heading to Dar. It's a trip that is more than dreaded, considering our experience with it last time, and this time could be worse.
Tanzanian transportation is unreliable at best, even more so when there's bad weather. Over the weekend we were hopeful because it hadn't rained all week. Well, we certainly jinxed ourselves with Murphy's Law. For the past few days it has rained quite often, even all throughout last night. This means most buses will get stuck in mud or possibly break down all together. The rain could delay our trip by a few hours or could be postponed into the night.
Even now, we can see the lightening in the distance, setting a bad omen for the day.
