26th – 28th June Tana

I had a relaxing time here on Saturday and Sunday. Sat on the big balcony of the hotel Saturday night and watched the celebrations. The Tana Plaza hotel is at one end of Independence Square so I was in the thick of things. The hotel locked the doors at 8 o’clock and strongly discouraged any tourist from going outside as it was standing room only. They also have absolutely no controls for fireworks either and I’m sure that a few of the rockets that came our way were fired on purpose.
Stayed in Tana on Monday, firstly to go to the bank, but mainly to see a dealer a couple of people had recommended. Supposedly he had lots of high quality faceting rough. What did I see, Quartz and lots of it. What a waste of a day.
