Day 260 Tanzania 20/07/2011, Kahembe's Guest-house, Babati. Shopping, resting and eating.

As I have mentioned in other posts a free breakfast can be a bit hit and miss. Thankfully though I can say that the one we had this morning was really good. It set us up nicely for a day of doing very little!

During the day we have a heard a little more about the road conditions that we face for the next few days and it looks like we will be in for a fairly tough time. Which is part of the reason we have decided to take a day off. A good thing is that everyone seems to agree that the scenery is beautiful. Rather than worry ourselves too much about it, we will just have to see for ourselves.

For some reason during the night Debs rear tyre went flat. On investigation it seems that the inner tube has split over one of the spoke holes in the rim. The spokes aren't loose or broken and the rim tape is in one piece, so its a bit of a mystery. Sadly it is also goodbye to one of our self-sealing inner tubes. The hole is such that I really can't chance patching it.

Heading out at lunchtime we had another belly buster meal for almost no money and then bought some supplies. Debs is in food heaven, because large tasty avocados are only 20p each!

The rest of the day has been spent blogging, emailing, resting and getting ready to leave tomorrow. We will be leaving Babati with plenty of food, full water sacks and well-filled stomachs. Hills and unsealed roads, bring it on!
