Just get a taxi

So for the last few days I have been at Lutindi Mental Hospital in the Usambara Mountains.

Highlights - the auction at church - people who have no money for the collection bring fruit instead and it is sold in an 'auction' at the end of the service and the money raised goes to the church!  Was pretty impressive to see.

The chai (tea) project - I LOVE TEA, so this was a dream come true!  The hospital runs lots of projects for the patients to get involved in as a means of therapy.  One is the chai project where tea leaves are picked from the surrounding area, ground, roasted and finally packaged.

The dala dala (public bus, more like a van) from Moshi to Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre - quite an achievement with all my luggage and it was only through sheer stubborness as I was fed up with people saying to me, 'Hey, just get a taxi like the other white people!'

Lowlights - Seeing with my own eyes the substance misuse problem in Tanzania and realising that it will potentially lead to severe consequences re Tanzania's development.

The journey from Moshi to KCMC - In hindsight, I probably should have just got a taxi!
