On the way to Kagera

We had a further week of Kiswahili after which we felt totally full with our new vocabulary. We were able to talk at a basic level --Tunatoka Uingereza, tunakaa Morogoro weeki mbili na tutakwenda Kagera. Mimi ni Daktari na mke wangu ni muuguzi. (Something like --We come from England, we are staying 2 weeks in Morogoro and we will go to Kagera. I am a doctor and my wife is a nurse. Annie is not here to correct me but I almost called her a mbuzi which means something else!!)
A few days in Dar where we met some very interesting people, not least Mary Ash of Posada. (if anyone wants to help something worthwhile-- see website).
We spent Sunday evening on Coco Beach -- the only white people among 2000 Tanzanians. Everyone was out to enjoy themselves and there was a very happy atmosphere.



Then on to the plane to Mwanza. A lunch stop of Tilapia and rice









then photo of signpost with many memories We were forced to retreat inside during a tropical downpour.

Then small plane over Lake Victoria, past the fishing village off Bukoba and onto the airstrip in the middle of Bukoba Town.
