We enjoyed another full breakfast poolside, packed up, and checked out of the Kibo Palace Hotel, Arusha, TZ. After confirming our air flights, we toured the mediocre Natural History Museum. We did enjoy the associated art exhibit / demonstration / sale, featuring 15 local artists, whose talents included works of batik, tingatinga (a Tanzanian art form), as well as the distinctive form of painting done with knives (not brushes) brought to the region by immigrants from Botswana. There, we met an artist and teacher of traditional Tanzanian dance. He has performed multiple times at the LEAF festival in Black Mountain, NC. All I can say is, it's a small world!
Fellow lover of the LEAF Festival, Black Mtn, NC We bought some of his art.
My new BFF... we picked up a few of his pieces. Peace!
Light lunch back at the Kibo Palace at our table, poolside. Then met up with our driver for the one hour trip to the Kilimanjaro airport. We stopped on the way to send a postcard to New Horizons West, a shop we frequent at home. Our African adventure is coming to its end...
Here we go! First leg, Kilimanjaro to Nairobi
Entering the terminal at Nairobi International. Welcome home, indeed... Kenya is the cradle of humankind!
