Out of Africa into Canbridge

Muheza -Cambridge now there is a contrast.

There are banners for the 800th Anniversary celebrations ot the Cambridge University ( wonder what was happening near Muheza 800 years ago)
Their one similarity is a dependence on bicycles for local travel.

Cambridge is so familiar from visits before and so different from where we have just been.

We had pears, croissant and wine
we saw green grass and field lacrosse and 'our breath' (5 degrees)
We had a day trip to London ( including an overwhelming map and travel store for the next legs)
pints of bitter

wonderful to see and hug Susan and Philip

and packing and repacking
For someone who likes to travel light and simply this combination of 'Trips" with varying weather and varying activities is a challenge and Books , numerous and heavy.

we would have very much struggled without our friends here in Cambridge( Kate and Tim, Susan and Philip)

We will sleep at Heathrow tonight since our flight tomorrow is 0930 and you must be there 0730 (not like Victoria) and bus travel to Heathrow takes 3 hours.

Trying very hard to enjoy the next chapters without making Muheza only a dream.

I miss it.
