Andrew booked a few days leave this past week so that we were able to give our friend Jacqui a lift to Dar es Salaam for her departing flight from Dar, and also to meet up with Andrew's sister Claire, who arrived there on Wednesday morning from London. We hit the road at a bright and early 7am on Wednesday morning with Jacqui, for our 8 hour car journey.
The long road to Dar:
Lunch on the road to Dar es Salaam:
Two visitors in one week has been a real treat! Since Claire and Jacqui's visits overlapped by 2 days, we decided to all spend time together at the beach, about an hour's drive from Dar.
The beauty of the East coast of Africa is stunning- we felt privileged to be able to enjoy such beautiful surroundings:

Ben admires the "dhow" fishing boats as they silently sail by- a familiar sight off the East Afircan coast:
We had a final lunch together before Jacqui set off for her flight to Manchester:
The following day, it was time for us to visit Dar es Salaam, where we had a night in the SIL guest house (Wycliffe Bible Translators) and then set off to bring Claire back to Dodoma on another long road trip. We look forward to sharing our Dododma life with her over this coming week.
The long road to Dar looks very beautiful as do the beaches and sunsets.Ben looks like he's really enjoying his sandwich.Carry on the good work with your blogs.m
