Caro got up first again and made a lovely breakfast. Scramble eggs with tomato, carrot and green pepper on a bun. She also talked to our room neighbours, Petr and Kristýna, from the Czech Republic. Turns out they also want to go to Nungwi today and spoke to the the same Taxi driver. They, however, [...]
Day 83: Wet Stone Town It was raining again when we woke up and then we realised we didn’t think of breakfast on Zanzibar. It was close to 09:00 and we were getting hungry so we made a dash for the Zenji Cafe, where we stopped yesterday. For breakfast we ordered fish soup and [...]
We set the alarm for 07:00, but the bed was too nice to get up so early. We snoozed a bit and then slowly packed up. We went for breakfast which was included in the cottage price. The breakfast was the biggest and best we had so far. We got tea and juice, a [...]
We woke up at 07:00 and snoozed a bit before packing in. We put everything in the car at 08:00 and then went for breakfast which has been waiting for us for an hour, since we were the only guests. Instead of the ‘usual’ sweet potato or cassava there was cold potatoes (our fault), one [...]
We set our alarm for 06:00 and actually got up. The earliest yet. We managed to leave by 06:40 even though we still made popcorn and hot water in a flask for the road. The tent was unfortunately still wet, but we wanted an early game drive. On the main tar road through the [...]
We got up lazily and let the tent dry a bit. We eventually only left at 10:40. We set the GPS to Magombero Village and got there via some very small roads that was only used by bicycles and motorbikes. The gps took us directly into someone’s yard. Caro got out to ask where the [...]
Since this was the most expensive hotel we stayed in so far, we expected the breakfast to also be the best and it didn’t fail to deliver. Beside the usual offerings they also had delicious Samosas (called Sambusa in Tanzania) and the eggs was served as a omelette. There was also a fruit platter with [...]
We didn’t set an alarm, but Hugo woke up at 08:00 and went for a shower. Back at the tent it took some convincing to get Caro up. We made tea and french toast for breakfast, all the bad bread found in Africa at least makes for delicious french toast. We took our time packing [...]
We wanted to leave early again as by now we knew that when people say something is a five hour drive it will take us seven hours. As you can probably guess this didn’t happen and we only left the hotel by 10:00. In our defence we did have a big breakfast in the [...]
We set an alarm again for 07:00 with the idea of being at the workshop in Mbeya by 08:00, as usual we just snoozed until 08:00 and then only left after 09:00. We thus only got to Highland Motors at 10:00 during everyone's tea break. We waited a few minutes for Mr Perreira, an [...]
