Title pretty much sums up this entry!Took a train form Lousaka to Dar with the girls im travelling with, and picked up some strays along the way..lots of DMC-ing late into the night about the state of africa with some not-as-racist-as-you'd-presume africaaners..ok they were called Villi,Fritz and Antoin does that prove their africaan-ness?! But they were travelling with a little stove and lots of food which,i'm sure you'll all know,went down very well. Also with two finnish ladies and a girl from DRC. Not much to say about the train really, apart from stayed in pj's the whole time, ate lots of cereal,nearly fell out of the bunk as one of the carriges kind of de-railed, and how nice it was to finally get back to Tz and be able to write on our immigration slips 'returning residents'..and speaking Swahili again!
Now in Zanzibar (yes, for the third time)for the international film festival of the Dhow Countries-which is amazing! Stone town is really buzzing with live music and art exhibitions everywhere. Last night went to see a Mexican film (wasn't aware Mexico classed as a Dhow country but anyway)called 'The other side' - really beautiful and made even more so by the incredible atmosphere in the open air ampitheatre crammed with people under a full moon and starry sky. Thsi mornign saw a series of short films, one called Kiboko Kid set in a slum outside Nairobi and is set to be made into a feature film..very cool to understan the swahili without subtitles. This was followed by lots of shopping and kangas have been bought for you all :) more soon, big love x
