On the road to Ngorongoro - August 19


We started off today by doing a wee bit of shopping en route. The first store we stopped out had all the profits go to support a local orphanage. However the prices were absolutely ridiculous for a third world country, we quickly had trinket overload and ended up getting nothing at all even though we did want to help the orphanage.

After our overload we went to a lodge near where we were staying for our hike. The hike turned out to be more of a mild nature walk led by the head gardener of the lodge/plantation through barley fields (see pictures) and the coffee plantation. Interesting, but not what we expected.

We arrived at coffee plantation where we will be for the next two nights, had some time to relax. Sean and I went on a run, but then got nervous about lions hiding in the grass, decided that we were wimps, two miles were enough, and turned around back through the fields, the lush gardens, and arrived back at our beautiful duplex.

Ok, so I thought your other pictures were amazing, and then you went and visited Africa. So cool.
