Small world.

I have reached the dizzy heights of celebrity. Today I was recognised by a complete stranger in a bar (small shack with an open fire in the corner serving warm beer). I was very surprised to be identified as I hadn't noticed I was so conspicuous....

Well I hit the big time with this *one and have secured a ride, tomorrow, back from the wilderness to the sprawling metropolis, that is Arusha, which should shave a few hours of the trip.

Happy days. The foray into cartographics has been a long and often tiring pursuit but my dedication is ceaseless and I will let you know when I have this town figured out.

P.s. This place is nice but have any of you been to Clapham?

*somebody who recognised me from a posh hotel where after scaling the fence and evading the baton wielding security guards I had blagged a drink.

  1. I thought Africa was hot so why do they have an open fire in a bar?
