Still No Power.
With us heading home the next day we needed to get a few last bits from town, Deo took us into town, so we could get last minute presents. Then we needed to go to a internet cafe to check in to our flight and print out our boarding passes. With no power still at the house this would have been impossible. Deo dropped us off at the internet cafe, and asked if it would be alright for use to make our way back to the house, we were fine with this, having taken the Dala a few days back I felt I knew what I was doing. So after printing everything out, having a quick check of Facebook and checking in with my family and John we were done. We headed to what we would call a bus shelter and waited, we agreed we wanted to get in a slightly empty looking one, Dala Dala's are known for theft on them and being white your an easier target. After a good half an hour waiting we finally got in one that was virtually empty. It's only about a ten minute journey to the road that leads down to the house. We decided that we would head to the center and see the children before going back to the house, as we were walking to the center we saw a power line being repaired (about time) when we got to the center the children were all shouting the power is back on so can we bake and watch a film. It was way to late now, and we obviously didn't have the film things with us. We were also disappointed that we didn't get to bake with them but you can't plan for no electricity. The children had asked before when we were leaving and we were always honest with them, one child asked today, we said we leave tomorrow, we are coming to see you in the morning then we are going to the airport. They were all shocked, and wanted to know if we had any paper, we didn't have anything on us at all having come from town, so I said I'd bring some tomorrow morning, I knew it was for them to write notes for us to take with us. So after an evening of packing up and making sure we had everything, it was time for our last nights sleep in Tanzania.
