Back in Africa #3

We have been here for 5 weeks now and I am writing this blog from the beach in Pangani. It is a beautiful spot and one that I have been to be before many years ago! 1999 to be precise – I was here with the kids and some friends while John was travelling to Rwanda. I visited the lodge that we stayed in and, unfortunately, it is closed and run down at the moment. There are plans to renovate so I look forward to seeing it when it has been restored. As I look up, I can see coconut trees blowing in the breeze and, with the Indian Ocean behind me, it is a writer’s paradise.

I have had 2 ‘firsts’ happen to me since I last wrote – one horrendous, the other, amazing….I will get to them shortly.

We left Arusha for our trip…
