Day 42 Iringa to The Santuary

Well we have arrived at a real sanctuary down on Lake Malawi.

It was a long day leaving Iringa early and pushing for 500kms down to Malawi.

The ride and the road were both good. Certainly the south of Tanzania is much more scenic than the north. Some of the views dropping down to the border were special going through tea estates and woodland.

Mike and I got collared by the long arm of the law. Mike doing 67 in a 30 zone and me 37. Both fines were 20000 shillings and we only had 500 so some long negotiating took place to try use dollars. What with a stretched exchange rate, in our favour, they declined. When we offered to go 20km up the road to an ATM, I think they realised we wouldn’t come back, they relented and let us off.

This little resort is very beautiful. It’s right on the water. We might well hang around for a bit.

Later Jim.
