A month? .... NO only a WEEK ! ! !

A month. No only a week!!!
Travel and more travel. Four different 'homes' in one week.
Johannesburg - smooth transition, one night stay, good service, safe location. Stone Town Zanzibar - hot and sweaty, narrow streets, Jambo!!!(hello) called at us from everywhere, a candlelight dinner by the sea on the evening before Valentine's Day.
Jambiani Zanzibar - white sand, blue water, swimming, walking, poor fishing village, friendly locals, fruit and fish, cold showers, relaxing, fun, the start of understanding the culture.
Dar es Salaam - large city, good sized Salvo compound, welcoming (karibu), enjoyable Sunday worship at Kipunguni Corps (small poor corps), prawns garlic, early start for 12 hour bus ride. Bus trip - many small villages, drop toilet, glimpse of lions, zebra, giraffes, elephants, roadside stalls.
Mbeya - rainy arrival, good meal and warm welcome from David and Chris, more than adequate accommodation.
