On The Way to the Farm...

On the way to the Farm holiday (see previous blog below), we spent one night in Iringa to break the long journey. We stayed at the Rivervalley Campsite where we did our Swahili language school, back in 2009. It was strange to be back there- it felt so liberating to be there simply as overnight guests instead of conscientious students having to rush off to Swahili classes immediately after breakfast!
It was fun to be able to show Claire the campsite where we lived for 2 months at the start of our life in Tanzania. Dinner and breakfast were provided and were very tasty:

Just to get ready for the outdoor activities which would be part of our family holiday, the children made the most of the campsite facilities to warm up their muscle power- a spot of trampolining for Esther:
 ...some rock climbing for Ben:
 ...and trying out the swings for Joel:

 It was soon time to pack up those familiar family suitcases again, lug them down the hill from our campsite banda, load up the car and continue our journey to Fox's Farm...

    Looks like you all had a very happy time! Wow - Ben looks like spiderman! Sam would approve of Esther's trampoline antics and Joel looks like he's loving the swing. xxxx

    Dad and I have just sat and read the last four blogs together and I wish you could have heard his exclamations and comments of appreciation. He wants to know if Ben really was climbing a real rock face with no helmet or ropes to help. It is an extra ordinary photo. Lovely memories for you all. mum
