Rather than riding into the bustling Dar es Salaam I planned to bus from the town of Morogoro, 200 km westward. It was 115 km from my current location. Out the door early was a good start. Today just seemed to be hotter than recently. This meant plenty of cold drink stops as the miles ticked over. Nothing of substance as I searched for food around lunchtime so I kept moving. Just past 100km I pulled into the Sangasanga junction with the T1. Now 3.30 pm I was famished and hunting for food. The scruffy looking BBQ restaurant didn't appeal on first glance, but neither did the other places. I wandered over checked the goods and ordered a beef portion with chips. This was a nourishing plateful. Having scouted accommodation via google I also ordered a beer, marking the end of the day's effort. The local hotel was 800m away, looked quite comfortable and accepted cards. Job done. They were sprucing it up for a 2 yr since opening celebration, and painting the foyer was underway as I arrived. I helped out by documenting some further issues in the bathroom. That's me. Happy to help.
