Planes, Trains and Automobiles

We arrived safely in Dar es Salaam last night and caught a few hours of sleep before our long journey to Iringa.  We tried a new experience-the high speed train to Dodoma.  It was a smooth and comfortable ride and helped avoid a lot traffic along the way!  We met our driver in Dodoma and began the 4 hour drive to Iringa.  The road is interesting and has fewer large trucks.  We stopped along the way to eat perhaps the largest box lunches I’ve ever seen!

This was a new road for us so it was interesting seeing a different region.  We saw the large reservoir and hydro electric dam that provides electrical service to the area.

We made it to The Lutheran Center just after dark, where a delicious dinner waited for us!
