Today was my last day of flying before going on leave on Friday. I flew 2 British people to Mikumi via Mtemere (where we picked up Jaap who is one of the managers at Rufiji River Camp)and then on to Dodoma where we dropped of the plane for major overhaul which will happen during the off-season. I've been struggling a bit with speeds on landing lately, generally coming in a little too fast, altho today I thought that it went a lot better. Too bad that I can only try again in 2 months time!
I am spending the night in Dodoma, but tomorrow (luckily) I have a lift with MAF to Dar so I dont have to spend the whole day on the bus! I leave for Malawi on Friday and luckily also managed to get a lift with my friend Gecko who works for Limbe Leaf. I will let you know how I get on!

Lately Ive been in the bush
Sorry for not writing in the last couple of weeks, but so much has happened! I started flying left seat with one of the "training captains" and so far its been going okay. We were a couple of days in Dodoma for maintenance on the aircraft (we had electrical problems) and it wasnt that bad. There isnt much to do, but clever people like myself are never bored.
From there we flew to Ruaha and spent a few nights. Saw some animals, ate a lot of free food and drank free beer. All in all you cant really complain about that! Now I'm back in Dar for a couple of nights and then off again on new adventures. Hope everyone is well. Bye for now!
