The donkey had not been stoked properly so we had a tepid shower. At least we had had a very peaceful night, so we were glad of that. B diagnosed the battery problem and was able to solve it with a new copper washer. That meant we didn’t have to scour Iringa for new batteries. Tried to repeat the lovely walk we had done five years ago but the path had not been maintained and was too overgrown. Instead we walked on the vehicle track for a little while, enjoying the local scenery.
On our return to the campsite it was obvious that they were getting ready for a big barbecue. In fact we knew that 65 people were coming and would be sharing the two toilets with us, so after a very quick lunch we got underway back to Kisolanza. And, phew! There were very few signs of yesterday’s party, just a few tents. All was peace and tranquillity. We parked in a good camping spot, got our chairs out, poured some juice and sat down. We both suddenly felt completely relaxed for the first time in weeks. It was lovely. Here we had security, hot water and clean ablutions, wonderful peace and quiet and a properly run campsite with no-one hanging around. What a relief!
We took a bit of a walk before dusk and saw a number of small birds of prey passing overhead. It was a bit of a puzzle.
