Dodoma
... fijn maar simpel hotelletje gebleven, en heb ik gezwommen in het zwembad van een ander, duur hotel. De mensen in Dodoma waren opvallend relaxed en vriendelijk! Veel leuke praatjes gemaakt. En de blanken DIE ik er zag, leken er ...

I'm back in town again due to more confusion from SPW TZ - I was told that there would be a monthly meeting this weekend, but it was changed to next week at the last minute, by which time I was already in town. But I'm going to stay for a few days ...
The Trip That Broke the Hartsel Sketchiometer

Dusty Streets Of Dodoma
Supose to be the capital, you would of thought it! I used this purely as a transit town to break up the trip to Mwanza and it id not even worthy of ...
Njombe
We came to Njombe by a small bus - like the saint's breadbox, on a 5 1/2 hr journey that takes 2 hours by car apparently. haha. Njombe is a fair bit colder and wetter than Iringa, I guess you'd expect that at nearly 2000ft above ...
18th Birthday in TZ

Dodoma
... . The bus was sent back for Pat and Katie to take them shopping but it was too late. They had already gone. Fortunately Dodoma is a bit lacking on the shopping side although apparently they found a little helper who took them round what there was. When we ...
Persistance pays, Dr. Jake and a big snake!
