In England, everyone is in a hurry and nobody can wait. In africa, everyone can wait but no one can hurry. I still can't decide whether it is refreshing or incredibly annoying. I tend to swing between the two opinions. Today was one of the incredibly annoying days. We needed to get the 7am ferry from Zanzibar to Dar. You have to report at 6.30 or you may not get through and get a seat on the ferry etc. We asked our hostel to arrange a taxi for 6.15... hakuna matata/ 'no worries' ...then we checked again that they were going to call for one. They said yes yes. When we got ready to leave at 6.15... we went to reception and instead of a taxi, there was breakfast (which we didn't want but was sort of a nice thing to do i suppose) and he hadn't called the taxi yet. Then he wandered off somewhere for a while... and 10 mins later came back saying maybe we need to find you a taxi so wait and I'll find one... SOOOO not going to wait at this point. 6.25 was getting a bit close to comfort so we legged it and found our own taxi. It just wasn't for him to decide when we wanted to leave....we told him!!! So we were fairly exasperated at this point.
