bush tales

so today we drove from dar es salaam to the parliamentary captial of Tanzania dodomo
This is a city that is in the centre of the country...
It is thru th bush to get there , i mean real african bush m fucking nothign except massai camps and little villages made of mud huts . Real africa .
We traded in our littel rav4 jeep for a big fuck off landrover discovery for the trip and we hired a local driver cos its a six hour off road trip .
The road ( loose translation ) is so crazy !!! Mad bastard bus drivers and daladals all over the place. As we progress the villages got more remote and more poor too .
We stopped for petrol and they poured it in the jeep from a big barrel ( not encouraging ...) meanwhile the littel kids we staring in the windows at me elena and kaila as they hadnt see mzungus or white people before .
We had to stop for a bathroom break and the perfect location had to be discovered . The criteria were high bushes for privacy , low grass and no snakes !!!
The snakes were a particular worry for us girls !!!
Anyway at last we got to dodoma the parliament building was our destination
we just waltzed into the place very little security ...makes yuu wonder ..

doubt many terror groups would want to blow it up but still .. today i got to talk to the guy who is the image of george bush who lives in our hotel . His name is ian and hes from canada and hes really cool too. He says i can take pictures with him that would be cool any suggestions girls ?
well talk later
