Dar Night Clubs & Mbudya Island

This weekend started off with a night out dancing with some of our new friends on Friday night.  We ate homemade pizza at Mari and Silje's house and then headed to the bars at 12 am. The atmosphere at these bars is crazy and so fun! The men here dance like no one's watching (literally) and it was definitely fun to join!  The first bar we went to was an outdoor bar (which I can't quite remember the name of). When that closed at 1 am, we headed to the nightclub called "Club Bilicanas" until around 4 am.

Some guys behind us in this picture were getting down! It was a great time!

Saturday night Krista and I headed to an Ethiopian restaurant called "Addis in Dar." I've never eaten Ethiopian food, and to be honest I was a little nervous. I didn't know exactly what to expect and I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but it was really good! Ethiopian cuisine consists mostly of veggies and spicy  meat dishes. They are served on top of injera (a sourdough flatbread)  and you eat everything with your right hand (which is also a customary thing here in Tanzania).

We ate prawns, beef, and lentils with some delicious Ethiopian spices!

Yummmm! 

Sunday we went to yet another island. Mbudya Island is right off of the coast and after a quick bajaji ride to White Sands Hotel we took a 15 minute boat ride to the island. We've had some pretty rainy weather the past week, as "rainy" season has started a little bit early. We were a little nervous that we wouldn't have great weather, but once we got to the island it was sunny and hot and we had no problem getting a little more sunburnt.

Only one weekend left in Dar! So many more things to experience and new restaurants to try before it's time to go home....
