24 hours later we arrived at Dar Es Salaam. We found our driver, then the moment we left the airport the street was shut down by the army with Ute's that had mounted machine guns with guys wearing balaclavas and heavy armoured trucks with military hanging of the side of the truck weapons drawn. We are definitely not in Brisbane any more haha.

Mestre has a huge problem with heroin addicts and the neighbourhood where my accommodation was located had a particularly bad rep, with the proximity to the train station, so it was quite recognizably dangerous because, train stations indicate higher crime rate. The locals warned me to be particularly careful not to step on a needle where I park, as many drug addicts throw used needles all around.

Amsterdam is famous for its canals, however, Copenhagen should be as well. The canals here are pristine and breath-taking. The city has been built around these canals in such a way that they don't overshadow them. The natural beauty of the canals paired with the stunning and intricate architecture make this one of my favourite cities in the world.
