London-Dubai-Dar Es Salaam-Muheza

We have made it this far

1) Emirates Airline is "SWEET" ( Griffin's description)
tasty food
free Economist ( after i bought one for 4 pounds in heathrow)
2) good entertainment options
3) free shaving kit for DAD

all official hoops ( immigration and customs ) jumped
no lost luggage
our driver friend Juma showed up a bit late which increased our sweating
hotels meals and buses all on time

All eyes very wide open as we have walked through Muheza and Tanga
even got a swim yesterday at the Tanga Yacht Club ( more la dee da than it sounds but pleasant just the same)

We have bought and figured out how to use cell phones and now looking into bikes for the boys to ride to achool.
school and work wont start for us officially for another week

great to have stopped moving and lugging

Hi Amb and family
Glad you have finally made it! This has been a long road travelled for all! Let's hope the rest of it is a lot less windey. Great blogs by the boys, I've been keeping tabs on them. Simon types like his Dad!! So have you shaved off your beard with the Emirates shaving kit!! Keep up the good work.
