After the Serengeti we stopped at the Olduvai Gorge (or Oldupai Gorge as the Masai people call it). This gorge is where some of the earliest footprints and bones were found that show that people walked upright. (This place was not for creationists). They found the bones of "Lucy" in Ethopia but this was the place the really started the investigations in other areas. They also had some of the old stone tools there too. What I could not tell is how they know that ...

As we had met four Canadians all traveling to Dar es salaam by train at the same time as us we thought it could save money and be more fun if we bought a whole 2nd class compartment. <br>this was all good fun until we tried going to sleep and we had to go on treble bunk beds in a height of less than 6ft, although with some careful ...

Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania March 20-22 There is a different feel to this place. I'm not sure I can really put my finger on it, but it isn't as friendly as the other places we've been in Africa. Yet people are looking out for us. In the market yesterday we were warned by a spice seller that someone could take our camera very quickly. Jim had the big Canon around his neck. We haven't been carrying it much because it just looks too rich. I had the little one ...

I am here, in Tanzania. It is ok. Dar Es Salaam was slightly scary but everything worked out and nothing bad happened! Esther, Elias's friend, met me at the airport, waiting with flowers for me! She rode with me back to my hotel. We stopped along the way to get some money from an ATM (here, they have separate ATMs for Visa and for Mastercard so the first one was the wrong one...had to try again!) The ...

... of the city centre. I was picked up at the hotel at 8am by a Plan driver and another staff member. We drove 40km to their field office in the Kisarawe region where I met the rest of the field staff. At the office there were boxes of letters with photos attached waiting to be sent out to the sponsor families. Everyone working there was from Dar and they were all super friendly and accommodating. There were 5 of us on the ...

... of the end of Ramadan holiday. 03/10 - The school was finally back on. I went to help class 1B and Judith, the teacher, won't be there for a month because she had an exam as she wanted to go into further education - it was sad because I think that she is such a great teacher! Afterwards, I went to class 6 and had a R.E lesson which was good - I love it as it is really fun! When the school finished I went to Soma's house as there was an Indian party ...

... pay!  So I went back to my room and tried to clean out the blood on the fan... guess what I got another electric shock! I am such a stupid boy because again it completely cut the electricity in the motel again! We had a great trip and the whole trip cost me about 30 or 40pounds 24/09 - We got up at 7 went on the bus and guess who was dying for a pee, not Katy this time it was me! It took forever I think it was longer than the first journey! After our journey, we went ...

... Bo and I walked back to our hotel thinking: what a brave fellow, another stranger in a strange land, he lived through all that tragedy, and all he asked for was a little companionship as he walked. If only there was some way to help him out! A few hours later Emmanuel calls for us at our hotel. I go down to meet him and, with tears in his eyes, he tells me that he has just lost his sister. She died in the hospital while we were out walking. This ...

... in touch with that permits were allocated. Emails kept bouncing back and when I phoned got a women who sounded like she had just woken up and gave yet another story. Clear this was going nowhere. Still fixed up shark diving and accommodation in Cape Town and talked to Janet and Tony who we hope to see there. In afternoon hired a car and driver and went to the local ...
