Livingstone and Stanley

Well, our trip to Africa got off to a slightly slow start when our plane was cancelled. Instead of leaving at 5:00 in the morning we ended up going at 5 in the evening, spending a night in Amsterdam and then flying to Dar es Salaam in money morning. However there was one upside, in that we were ugraded to first class and so had steak for lunch.
We arrived in Tanzania at 10:30 and had to batter a taxi ride from the airport to where we were staying. A place called the Luther Guest house. Unfortunately on getting onto the taxi, the driver was unable to start it and we had to have a push so that he could jump start the car. Welcome back to Africa.
Our room was small with two beds, a desk and a wardrobe. We also had an onswuit toilet and shower, although the only thing separating them from the room was frosted glass. So you could see everything in outline.
On wednesday we boarded the Scandinavia bus which took us on an eight hour ride from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma, where we are staying with some German missionaries. Yesterday we went for a walk through the bush on the outskirts of town and were told that a hyena had been seen there recently. needless to say, dad and I decided that, since it was getting dark, it was probably best to head back to the house.
Today we are resting in Dodoma before boarding the train tonight across Tanzania to Kigoma on lake Tanganyika.
Unfotunately my timer in the internet cafe is running out so I'll have to go. I'll come back and tidy up this post in a couple of days, and hopefully give more info then.
