Interesting that they did not feel it worth noting that HMS Westminster had previously paid a port visit to Dar es Salaam on the 5th April.

One of the arseholes of the world! Only one better than Maputo which really is the biggest shithole this side of the Black Stump.

Bet they got parked the far side of the container port .... wonder if the same bloke is there guarding the main gate ,,, half asleep ... covered in flies ...with an AK47 on his lap!

No, they were forward of a bulker and quite easy to get to by the rear gate to the dockyard - plenty of idiots doing the security though so no change there. To be fair to Dar-es-Salaam it is a lot better nowadays than it used to be but they still can't organise a piss up in a brewery when it comes to immigration procedures at the airport etc.

Last time I was there (Chrimbo 2001) we were warned that 50% of the population were HIV+ and 90% of the ladies of the night were HIV+ so it'll take more than penicillin and brufen to cure any that went shagging (some of ours still went though)
