Day 15 - Thursday 11th February 2010

Today is our last day at Riverside campsite, Iringa.

We both feel a little sad as we are just starting to make some good friends here, but we are also ready to move on and get settled in Tabora, and as lovely as the campsite is we need to escape.

For our last day of Swahili and we had the pleasure of Liverpool mad Theo teaching us, a really funny man, who enjoyed my mocking of his team today. We had a good day of learning but there is no hiding from the fact we have a long way to go. We are making progress though, slowly.

After lunch we headed into Iringa for a cup of tea. We met a couple, Andy and Miriam, in church on Sunday from Guildford and who went to the same school as Armorel, bizarre. They invited us over and we had a lovely afternoon of tea and freshly baked brownies, delightful!

Our last night at camp was celebrated with ice cream and popcorn and a game of cards called ‘Dutch Whizz’ or something similarly strange.

The clock has just struck 9pm and I think we are up for one last dodgy DVD. Last night was ‘Surfs Up’, who knows what tonight will hold.

  1. That would be Dutch Blitz. Think we might know Andrew and Miriam. Do they have little one(s) and did they mention a sister in S.Africa who used to be in Nairobi? Jo
