Still Stranded

The airlines may be open for business once again, but Claire's Wednesday flight to London was cancelled. Her stay with us in Dodoma has been further extended. The next available flight from Dar es Salaam is Sunday morning.
So Claire will embark once again on the 8 hour trip, on the Long Road to Dar es Salaam on Saturday. This will be the 4th time she has done the 8 hour trip along that stretch of Tanzanian road, during her 19 day visit!
Hopefully, she will able to get her flight and return to England, rather than face another cross-country bus ride...
Here are a few pictures from her road trips:

On The Road Again


Toilet Stop Location for Claire + fellow bus passengers (the actual long-drop toilet is in a little room just out of view of the photo- a toilet without the luxury of a closing door or wash-basin to clean your hands afterwards: makes motorway service station loos 5* luxury affairs!!)

    Just had a text to say Claire once again on that bus.Can't decide if I'm looking forward to a ride in same or not.Not too old for an adventure - but the toilet?! The photos of the views from the bus still arouse feelings of nostagia even after 40 years.x m
