Still we found a way to ensure we could rub shoulders with real crowds. We walked to the Kigamboni Ferry Terminal that crosses the narrowest part of the harbour inlet. It was easy to see why this location became such a large city, namely its excellent harbour.
We had to buy an electronic card to use the ferry and bought passage both ways for us. The total less than a Canadian dollar. It wasn't a very long ride. However the passengers and vehicles would have had to travel miles around where it not for this busy transportation option. Even on this day off it was completely full while running every ten or fifteen minutes.
We enjoyed walking a bit. We stopped for Mirandas (orange flavoured soft drinks) because it was very hot sun. Jay noticed that cashews were cheap and bought a half kilo at the same shop. We learned the name of the pregnant cat sprawled on the floor but have already forgotten.
We weren't on the other side long and decided to come back across.
At we figure the distance was enough for the morning, we stopped an Indian tuk-tuk vehicle and returned to our hotel. Minutes later, we were relaxing in the swimming pool.
