Friday in Tanzania - Lushoto

Today we took a sightseeing trip to the town of Lushoto. It’s about two hours away. There is supposedly an incredible view from the top of the mountain. Unfortunately for us, it was raining again. It took two and a half hours to get to the view point and what did we see…. FOG. It was so funny. We came all this way to take in this amazing view and we could barely see 10 feet in front of us. It was still fun to go there and we look forward to going another time.








On the way back to the town of Lushoto from the view point, we stopped by an orphanage. The house matron took us around. This place was wonderful. They take in abandoned babies and prepare them for adoption. They hope to have them adopted by the time they are two. The place was so clean, organized and well run. They even have tiny toilets and work on potty training the kids. It was hard to leave without taking one of the kids with us though. They are so cute. I can definitely see George and I adopting kids one day and wondered if they may come from this place. After the tour of the orphanage, the car that took us to the view point got stuck in the mud. George, Herbert and men from the nearby village managed to get it out despite the rain. Then we had lunch and boarded the bus and headed back down the mountain.
