Monday we had the whole Dar Yacht Club to ourselves. This enabled us to update our travel blog and just chill out on the beach or at the pool.

 

 

 
Toni on the Quarter Deck. We really made use of the free internet service and I think the Commodore would have had a heart attack if he knew what was going on.

We met Kevin, his son Don and girlfriend Maria from Germany and had a good old South Africa braai with chops from our friends Mynie and Theo in Tete and lots of beer. Kevin said he is a member of the Dar yacht club and he will see if he could get us to camp there for 2 nights. We needed a rest day and it sounded great.

We left for Iringa and could not believe the amount of trucks and busses. They have absolute right of way and you must just get out of the way.
 
The only way up to the Iringa town was up a hill under major construction.We were running late for the banks and it was a Saturday.

 

Chaps on their way up the hill with what looks like beer.The extreme heat taking it's toll on everyone.
 
 
From Iringa we headed for the Baobab Valey Camp site situated on the Ruaha River towards Dar-Es-Salaam. Once again fantastic scenery en route.
 
 
 Stocking up with fresh veggies at one of the many super markets.
 
 
Baobab Valey, looking for our camp site. Had a few problems with the GPS giving the wrong information and took a few dead ends.
 
 
 
Finally the Baobab Valey Camp Site situated right on the Ruaha River. Basic amenities, cold shower but very pretty.
 
 
'Restaurant' on the river front.
