I Like Islands
As the title might suggest, I like islands. There is something nice about being detached from the rest of the world, in a community in which everyone seems to either know each other or welcome outsiders warmly to. And of course, you must get to an ...

Tembo Beach campsite, Musoma
We're now in Tanzania on the edge of Lake Victoria. A beautiful sunset this evening. Musoma obviously isn't used to tourists by the looks we got as we wandered about town. The port was heaving with people and the boats they were bringing in looked ready ...
Travelling to Mwanza

Mwanza, hotel and lake pictures

Mwanza-around the town
Well, the luggage saga continues. Apparently it's arrived at Mwanza airport, but when I got there the woman with the "key" wasn't in, so I have to return later. American Ambassador visited today, so the traffic came to a standstill on the highway as he ...
