Well it was a wonderful encouragement to us when my sister Fiona flew in from Perth, Western Australia. She arrived via Johannesburg where she had a night stop-over. Surprisingly (to me any way) she was also met by bre William Swai and Alley Mwasimba (Mbagala ecclesia). William talks via Skype to a brother Axel in Perth.
We had a few days together in Dar before having our 3 day holiday (first in 9 months) in Zanzibar. We explored Dar whilst sweating profusely. Firstly the city centre, with Fiona (with Carl) having her hair braided whilst Jonathon and I went looking for the Cancer Hospital. Then we had a nice day out at the "Mud Hut Museum" in Mwenge suburb. We saw inside and out many of the traditional housing of the different tribes in Tanzania, including that of the Muha (Jonathon's tribe). The Muha hut looks like alot like a Indian teepee although it is made of grasses. They are all surprisingly roomy but very, very gloomy! It was a very intersting time that we rapped up with an untraditional lunch of burger and chips (mmmmm).
