Me again:-)))

Well I am back in Arusha. A few riders wanted to know where the internet was so I brought them in.

We had a rain storm last night and I am pleased to report that my tent was dry and warm...it is a bigger tent than I had so I am able to get more of my gear into it or under the fly. I did a bit of laundry yesterday and of course it was soaked last night...the sun is out now and it is hot so I trust it will dry.

I talked to Dr. Luke who is a member of the TDA team. He told me about his ride through Kenya driving one of the support trucks. He said it was a long drive due to road conditions and that likely we would have been very tired and stressed as the road conditions were worse than our worst day along the tour.

The camp we are at is a large venue and has a large bar and restaurant. We found out last night that it si the party central for locals and a lot of the safari people. So the music was loud, the booze was flowing and those of us who wanted to sleep were unable to...as a result we are a little tired today. Oh well it will prepare us for the next riding days...seven days then a rest day. Tonight being Saturday should be even a louder affair...maybe we should just join them. My bike was looked at by one of the mechanics as it is now fit to ride...as I am.

Tanzania is by far one of the most expensive countries we have been in. They do have atm machines and a few places do take visa...this will improve as we head further south.

Well I am off now to get a good cup of coffee..and avocado sandwich and some food from Shop Right.

Stay healthy and warm....will update from the next possible location.
