early last week we used our bikes make a right and have a small bicycle tour made. Although it is quite exhausting to ride on the saddle too low, we have come quite far. In the vicinity of about 5 km from Morogoro, there is a reservoir with the water of the water supply is applied to Morogoro. This is the wonderful scenery of the Ulugurumountains. On the main road we drove to within sight of the lake and then tried cross-country to reach the lake. On a tiny pretty bumpy road, we came to shore, where they had a beautiful view of the lake and the dam. But it is only a small piece of the bank and was cycling was impossible because of the soggy soil. Suddenly, a fisherman approached us and immediately came Mareen and me horror stories of fishing knives in the head, but he we tried only with a Swahili-English spoken language, body language mix to make it clear that we have to search the lake nothing. So we are back to the street and have a new start directly reaches the dam, where we could go after a brief discussion with two men in the very same language mix. From here, offered us an even more beautiful view and it was really fun to drive, past the fishing people and herons that flew away before us. An happiness Mareen had made a week before my arrival even find a road on which we are heading now able to complete our round. Meanwhile, there was in fact only six clock at half past six in the evening and it's dark at seven then it is pitch black. We had to return quickly to watch. But after a short confusion we found the road and are safe before dark again arrived at home.
Since Thursday, we at least have a regular appointment. Monday to Friday at ten clock we have for two hours Swahiliunterricht. However, the quality of teaching is already different than they are accustomed from Germany. The teacher even speaks only (middle) moderate English and often formulated sentences in which even I notice that they are completely wrong. What is truly regrettable is that he is a teacher of English at a school for Tanzanian children. speak Swahili Well he can, but unfortunately, he has the logic behind his language, itself not understood. All the I am happy that I have already received in Germany, explained the logic of the Swahili. The Swahiliunterricht in Germany was really great and was worth it. Mareen also benefited. When our teachers, we can now exercise at least formulate sentences and try to win us from speaking practice.
Hey your home! Were you showered today already on the toilet or have you this morning or yesterday evening, or even a bath? Yes? How? Just go and press the flush and the shower faucet on and ready? Probably. And so it goes here often work, but for now quite rare. For the moment that is just tap water and this means that there pretty much all day the tap water is shut off, as they just did well, and the water from our tank is also scarce. Since the human needs remain, however, and runs with some neighbors the water, we have to fetch water in buckets. And then there Eimerklospülung and bucket shower. This is also quite good, but not so comfortable. And when you realize then know that running water is quite a luxury that is for us a matter of course.
meantime I'm also the first time ill ... but no malaria, sleeping sickness, cholera, and what there is still so beautiful, just a cold, boringly normal, yet annoying when a runny nose all day. My paper handkerchief stock is running low and I have to slowly look around for alternatives, I still have a nasal spray bottle, but it would be better to be healthy again soon.
So then Stuffed Greetings from Morogoro
