Louisa's Journey

I am going to tell you about my journey back to Tanzania.

We had two vans and a car to get to the airport. (We had lots of bags). We went with Grandma and Grandad, Phil and Helen and Keith and Geoff. The journey took 1 hour. At the airport I had a ride on a trolley with our luggage. The bags and boxes went for a journey on a long conveyor belt. I wanted to go on that too (but it isn’t for people). We had a ride on the Pod with Geoff! And we had a ride on an underground train to our gate. We were at the airport for 4 hours.

(this was actually taken when we went to Canada, but it is the same train!)

 Then we went on our plane. The journey took 9 hours. We had chicken nuggets for dinner and sausages and baked beans and egg for breakfast.   We watched  movies and slept.

When  we arrived in Tanzania it was very hot and hard to breathe!  At the airport we got in a big taxi. The next day we picked up our landcruiser. But before we could get it, Daddy had to ride around Dar es Salaam in a bajaj. A  bajaj  is  a little thing on three wheels like a motorbike at the front with a seat in the back and a bit like a car with no doors.

Our journey home to Iringa was in our landcruiser. It takes 9 hours. On the way, we  went  through  the gamepark  we saw  no  ellelfnts this time.  

I am very happy to be back!
