The dancing road
Tanzania January 13th, 2008I am now at KCC in Kibaya, the place where I will be living for the next few months. To get here from Dar we drove the landrover to Morogoro on tarmac, spent the night there and then drove a couple of hours on tarmac to get to the dancing road. The dancing road is an 80km dirt track that is the main road into Kibaya. It took a couple of hours to pass, as its currently fairly dry here and the road had been recently repaired - however in the rains it can become pretty ticky, so I’ve that to look forward to.
I drove up with a VSO volunteer called Kenna, who filled me in on the situation here. It seems that things are not quite as I imagined, but I’ll need to see. The school is nice enough, and the people really friendly. Tomorrow I will begin working out exactly what is needed from me out here, and hopefully start actually doing it. I have mainly been occupying my time sorting out the house I’m living in and trying to get it a bit more liveable in.
So, I’m here safe and sound. I’ll let you all know what I get up to as it happens. Bye.

Hi Chris, just a quick note to say hi and to let you know that I have been reading your posts with envy over the last few months and pinned a few of them at the back of church next to a map of your route. Glad you’re safe and well, the news here has been full of stories of rioting, killing and burning churches!! Everyone at church asks after you, and take great interest in your map. Especially since the post last year about you holing up in a tatoo bar!! All the best. Take care and God Bless
