one more day

Mwanza, Tanzania
Thursday, May 8, 2008

Today was a day of rest. After breakfast, I went back to sleep. Just a short 3 hour nap. We have been so tired since arriving in Mwanza, just physically exhausted.

Poor Matt had a bad day of self-inflicted injuries, perhaps due to his level of exhaustion: whacking his head on the bathroom door, falling through one of the open sewer cracks in the pavement and the last straw, getting stung by a bee on his hand during dinner.

We've been to visit Foxy every day at the garage to see how she's improving. It felt almost like visiting a sick relative in hospital, I felt I should've brought flowers or something. We're told by tomorrow 10am she'll be ready to hit the road. We hope so!

Tonight we had dinner at Yun Long restaurant, a huge Chinese place on the riverfront. We had the spicy Szechuan beef and tofu (something I always miss while travelling) and veg. Funnily enough, as good as the food was, the best bit was being able to use chopsticks again. It felt warmly familiar.
