Joe I lived in Nyamisati for 6 months. If you ever go back, go to the old swedish mission and ask to sleep in the church. If you're lucky, they might put you up in one of their many guest rooms for a cheap price. Another fun trip is going out to visit the surrounding islands in dug out canoes.. The villagers are always friendly, and you can find great fluent English speakers. One of my friends on Salalee, Abdula, taught himself English and Arabic from translative dictionaries. He always had old proverbs and adages written on the side of his hut when I'd visit. Terrifyingly intelligent and pleasant people in the Rufiji district.

Melissa I spent a month living in a guest house of missionaries in Nyamisati, it is the filled with the friendliest people you could ever meet. I wonder if you stayed in the same house. :)

Pauls Oh how exciting to see a volcano actually smoking, shame about not getting on TV - try harder next time!! x

Pauls Hilarious that you weren't content with dog being a bit rank but you thought that you'd try and get them to do some Cat too - not sure whether Leon would've spoken to you again?! Glad to see that you've been feeling the heat while I've had my moonboots and earmuffs out, come home and have snowball fights with us! Miss you xXx

Leon Wow this sounds amazing. Glad you survived the mozzies. I think that would be P's worse nightmare. I guess we won't be visiting any time soon! LOL xxxx
