13 July (Day 14)

13 Jul

Today was a well deserved rest day at the old Farm House Kisolanza. Spent the day tinkering on the bikes and getting in some much needed exercise.

The farm has some beautiful walks around it. We are both really impressed with Tanzania and have met a lot of foreigners who have elected to settle here and rave about the quality of life. It really is a beautiful country with extremely friendly and welcoming people and can see why foreigners are drawn to Tanzania.

Met a couple of Aussie guys who found themselves here a few years ago and have decided to settle and make a life in Tanzania. They are also bikers and have been a great source of local knowledge for the the roads that we will be tackling over the next few days.

Tomorrow we head for Dodoma along the road that links Iringa to Dodoma which is approx 300km of dirt, rock, potholes and culverts….Looking forward to the change.

BackABuddy Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
