Why did we have time to upload them you ask? We won't go in to a lot of detail, but the short story is that Precision Air is not all that precise. They had no record of our confirmed and paid for flight out of Arusha, so we're stuck here another night when we're supposed to be in Dar es Salaam and in the process of re-routing a big chunk of our itinerary to get us to Cape Town.
We will have missed checking out Dar and a day in Johannesburg, but these were bonus pit stops that we hadn't planned on, so no big loss.
one wise African once told me: “Every morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a Lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle... when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.”
