5 yr old around town...

Another day out on the town with my mini celeb...she's resolutely not a blogger but I thought I'd share in pictures the things a 5 yr old notices and wants to take photos of. So, as follows, B's photo diary of errands in town...total distance covered approx. 2km - time taken 2.5hrs!

The Bus Station: piles of oranges waiting to be sold to the next busload of passengers. This picture looks far too calm - we're about to make a run for it across the road, between the many racing boda bodas (motorcycles) whilst declining rides from most of them. 

Feeling very proud of ourselves for having tracked down the correct bus ticket seller (there are many different bus companies) and purchased our tickets for our trip up to Moshi for our safari this week. At least we hope we have bought the right tickets.....we shall find out at 8am on the specified day. I now have to break it to Beth that we actually are going to need a whole lot more cash and must walk on to the ATM & then come back. (180,000 shillings return  - about £60).

At the post office - yes, she is better at me at counting out the money!

Checking out the brick maker - you can just about make out the brick press in the background. The brick maker is taking a break in the shade... think B could have stayed all day to watch and has requested a trip to a brick factory back home.....any ideas where we go for that?

Next trade to admire.. the timber boys...hot work loading this lot up.

I am getting berated for missing a photo opportunity of motorbike carrying mountain of baskets....think she needs her own camera!

We couldn't understand enough Swahili to work out if these chickens are for sale or whether they are battery hens for laying eggs. Our housekeeper tells us we can buy cage eggs or rubbish eggs (which are actually the free range ones, more expensive ones. I assume rubbish applies to the fact that they scratch around in the rubbish)

Admiring sweetcorn growing in the dirty ditch......she was all for climbing down to start harvesting

First sign of Christmas that we have spotted outside of our own festive home

Best thing about being out with B - she is all for marching up and quizzing people on what their doing & what their name is. Puts me right out of my comfort zone but also means everyone loves us coming up to chat & attempt to ask them questions.
