Arusha Burgers

I don’t remember how long it took to drive back to Arusha. Maybe and hour, maybe three. A shower and clean clothes were looking pretty good.

I’d left a small bag with a change of clothing and some things for the safari behind in the hotel, so I retrieved that, went to the room, got cleaned up, and took stock of how dirty everything else was. I took a big bag of trail clothes to the hotel laundry (and also gave them my boots to clean) and wandered down to the open air restaurant balcony. Our hiking party trickled in and Wilbert joined us as well.

We discovered the Arusha Burger: a big, juicy cheeseburger with a couple of giant slices of ripe avocado on top and served with a pile of french fries. Goes perfectly with a Kilimanjaro beer. Considering both the food and the company it was one of the best meals of my life.

We spent most of the rest of the afternoon relaxing on the restaurant balcony and reliving the trip.
