Location: Somewhere in Western Tanzania
We left Kigali in the morning to get an early start, We were trekking to Mwanza, we thought we were smart. Four hours on the minibus was quite a pain, But we made it to the border as it started to rain. The fellow mzungu (white person) who picked us was funny, When she dropped us she reminded us that we had no money. She exchanged some cash and she sent us on our way, On to Kahama where we wanted to be by mid-day. With 26 people, our minibus was full, The bumper nearly cracked while giving another bus a pull. When we arrived in Kahama it was too late to go on, We decided to leave for Mwanza the next morning at dawn. Here, we expected a relaxing night’s stay, But the station master told us the only train leaves today! We settled in for the 36 hours, That’s a long time to travel without any showers! We left Kigali 72 hours before, When we reached our hotel we nearly collapsed on the floor!
