Moshi – Day 2

The 2nd day of our Moshi tour began by traveling around different parts of the city of Moshi.

Our tour guide took us to an old train station. I’m not really sure why, but I thought it was the neatest thing. You could just tell there was so much history there! The train stopped running in the 90’s when TZ made better use of cars to get to near by cities. It takes 3 hour to drive from Moshi to Arusha, yet by train, it took close to 8 hours. IMG_0116

After driving around other parts of the city, we went half way back to Arusha and ditched the car for a “tuk tuk” (pictured below) to go visit a local hot spring.

This hot spring is one of the coolest places I’ve been in TZ and that’s saying a lot because the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are unlike anything I’ve ever seen in my life. The hot springs are so peaceful.

We arrived fairly early in the morning which meant we were the only people there. The water was PERFECT! It was very clear and a great temp for swimming.

We ate lunch at the local hot spring restaurant. They served us “Chips Mayai” which is eggs and french fries.  It was super tasty.

As we were walking away, I saw this tree with “MT” carved into it. Did I cry? Yes.

It was such an awesome trip with my sweet friends and I treasure the memories we made together. LOVE YOU BOTH!
