... that were too thin to hold up the weight. Ten story buildings have collapsed here in the past, and so it looks like things aren't improving. A few doors down another building was going up and it looked much better with lots of rebar and thick cement supports. For supper we found a restaurant close by that had a good variety of food to choose from and kept all of us happy. Our evening was filled with internet activity, trying to catch up on some emails ...

Arrived in Dar e Salem and stayed at a camp site called Makadi Beach, right on the Indian ocean. First thing done was to jump straight into the sea. Jees, I've never been in a sea so warm. You actually had to stand out of it to cool off. The camp was cool with a nice bar and a pool, which was slightly cooler than the sea. That night turned ...

... Dar, I met a Tanzanian doctor who is doing her internship in Mwanza. I invited her to come and visit the kids at Watoto Wa when she has time. She plans to be a pediatrician and seemed to be keen to meet them. I'll contact her when I get back to see if she can visit before I leave for home.

People were hurrying around, the dalla dalllas (minibuses) calling out to ...

... will have to wait for him. Emmanuel explains that the doctor has allowed him a small area behind the hospital in which he can bury his sister tomorrow morning. Some of the security guards currently on duty have agreed to help dig. We can help, too. We must arrive by seven if we are to complete the ceremony by nine, the time when the guards go off-duty. Emmanuel asks us, solemnly, to bring some incense and plants that we can purchase cheaply in ...

We really should learn to call ahead and book rooms, but since we have been travelling out of the tourist season we have not really had to worry about it before! Thankfully someone said that we could have one ...

... stoelen... en de weg <br> was ook verhard, dat scheelt natuurlijk ook. <br> Maar Dar bleek echt een rotstad te zijn! Tenminste, de indrukken die <br> ik ervan heb gekregen. <br><br> Net op het einde van de dag, in het laatste daglicht, ging ik even eten <br> halen.
