Morogoro and onwards, football and wildlife

Left the heat humidity and dust of Dar and arrived at Morogoro just outside the merkani(spelling) national park to spend the night and also to take in some local flavour via watching the UTD v Chelsea match in a local bar
These chaps are somewhat excitable in these bars and are usually great fun, it was a great night 200 people crammed in to the bar, 1 woman, 1 white chap, we really got well looked after after their initial shock, at first they thought we were more interesting than what was on tv.

A cracking night out and a good result!!!

A really early start the next morning, 6am and headed off to the reserve, bloody brilliant nobody tried to stop us and it was free,
Elephants, baboons, wildebeast, zebras, wart hogs and a whole lot more but no big cats!!
Arrived in Iringa to spend a couple of nights and update this, this is the 2nd cyber cafe that we have tried and its soooooooooo slow, my second hour is up and its beer o,clock, Ps got piss wet through yesterday for the first time since Sierra leone, hope this makes the English feel a bit better
