East africa bliss comes to an end.

From the start of the trip with the Ndome / Njihia family of the rift valley I knew this would be great. From milking a cow ( observing the milking of the cow). To a train across to mombasa that had a cattle car derail. A mansion for backpackers, being stuck without money on an exotic island where the largest danger was to be run over by a donkey.
Mutatus to daladalas. Being squished into all and any transportation. Getting sick for 48 hours only 60 feet from the beach. Feeding monkey bananas , and wandering the fish market of Dar ES Salaam. Even was pick pocketed while walking past a bus stop. Was quite creative and did not at all bother me to loose the 7000 tsh I had in my pocket. Meeting wonderful local and foreign friends. Taking a dive in the Indian ocean.off Mafia island. Boat, bus, train. A motorbike around zanzabar. Car ,taxi ,mini vans ,walking , hiking. The homes made of red dirt and stick. Bartering for pretty much everything. The king of the jungle to the the queens of the homes. This has everything.

This is africa.
