Day 21 – Wednesday 17th February 2010

It was another busy morning for us both, trying to get to grips with our work and the cultural twists. Moments of despair may be often recorded.

Driving in Tanzanian certainly is lively!

I became a bus driver today. I was waiting for Armorel to finish work and was suddenly thrust the keys of the van and asked to drive all the nurses home. A group of 12 ladies, with little / no English who piled in the van and off we went.

Lefti! Righti! Straighti! Stopi there!

This must have been the funniest experience these nurses had ever had as it was raucous laughter from start to finish. Once the nerves of hitting cyclists and pedestrians who don’t look had passed we were able to enjoy the scenery of the Tabora suburbs. It really is a sprawling town with thousands of people, and still they are walking everywhere.

We picked up our new mosquito net, it didn’t fit! We will try again tomorrow.
