Day 31 – Saturday 27th February 2010

Today was a national holiday in Tanzania so again we were both off. We had a lazy morning, reading our books and drinking tea.

It was a little chilly this morning, so I think we must be getting acclimatised.

We had then been invited out for lunch to the Orion, the site of the missing pizza last weekend. We were going with Jim and Margaret, who are heading back to the UK this month, Dr Ruth and a US couple Tim and Kim. You will pleased to know that all food arrived and we had a lovely lazy lunch.

We also found that the hotel also make bread. It is phenomenal and worth a weekly trip to the hotel just to buy bread. After a wheel change on Jim’s car we headed back home and took part in some rigorous exercise. Continued plumbing complications had meant that our water tank wasn’t filling. So I climbed up to the tank, about 15ft up, and balanced on a small ledge, enough room for one foot. Armorel, Dr Ruth and our security guard then proceeded to pass up buckets of water so we could fill the tank up. Thirsty work!

The afternoon soon passed and a fish and chip dinner was calling.

We had a quick visit from two local vicars. They wanted to pass on the services information for the next month, as we seem to both be preaching next month. Luckily in English!
