February 3
Today we flew from Addis Ababa to Arusha, Tanzania via Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. We arrived to Dar es Salaam and did another round of obtaining visas and finding ATMs. The process was long but easy. We then walked out of customs and then back into departures… to head to Arusha. That’s when we were informed that even though we booked a flight into airport code “DAR” and a flight out of airport code “DAR”, they were actually different airports. Why. Why do two different airports have the same airport code!??! Not a huge deal, but come on…
So we took a taxi to the other airport and got a glimpse of what type of planes we would be flying:
So small!! Once we got onto the plane, our pilot, along with a few other people actually had to push another plane out of the way so we could leave:

Even though there were only 8 people on the plane, it really just flew like a small plane carrying 30 from Chicago to St. Louis. Here are a few pictures/videos:
