We, that is Danny, Dylan and me are cycling through East Africa for 3 months. We started in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, are going through central Tanzania to the Lake Victoria. From there may go to Burundi (we are still trying to find out whether it is safe now to go), through Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya and back into Tanzania to Dar es Salaam, where we started. So we basically make a loop around Lake Victoria.
It's been 2 weeks tomorrow since we left Ireland. A few days in Dar es Salaam and then we started our journey towards Morogoro, the first bigger town after Dar es Salaam.
Palm, Mango and Banana trees, monkeys crossing the road, small villages of mud huts....Children and many locals are waving at us and scream "mzungu" (white person), "Mambo"(hello, how are you), "Sister", "hi, how are you? I am fine". We are the only white people here and therefore quite an attraction. We haven't been camping yet, because there are small, cheap and yet clean guesthouses in almost every town. Most evenings we get "Chicken and Chips", thats what the locals eat here. Pepsi and Fanta keep us going along the road (every little village sells them) as well as Bananas, Mangos, Oranges, cakes or bread, that we buy on the markets in the villages.
