We left Kilimanjaro Airport and headed towards Arusha City which was about 30 minutes away by road. Our Tanzanian guide-cum-driver told us we could not view the Kilimanjaro Mountain that morning as it was covered by clouds. We passed some mining sites ( of prescious gem stones), passed Mount Meru ( 2nd highest mountain in Africa after Kilimanjaro) and drove through some working class district of Arusha City where our guide stopped at a local hotel to pick up our picnic lunch-box.
Along the road, pakdokter's partner stole some of the following streets scenes. We passed by a village of largely Muslim folks - evidenced by the presence of a mosque and burqa-clad ladies on the streets and many shops that advertised Muslim names as their owners. Street hawkers operated even on the Eid, so it seemed.
