On January 2 we set off from Kampala for a two week holiday(/honeymoon). We piled in "Wilson" and drove 1,400Km to Dar es Salaam passing through Kenya and the national parks of Tanzania. For the most part, we put the cameras away but here are a few of our favorite shots from beautiful East Africa.

| The gang and trusty Wilson. Although, 1,400Km doesn't sound like a lot, with potholes, police checks, boarders, road construction, hyenas and speed bumps we averaged about 40Km/hr |

| Bill's motto 'never leave a dead animal in the road'... Bill drags a hyena from the highway |

| Small twisters touch down around Mt. Meru, TZ |

 |
 |
| The Ngorogoro Crater in Northern Tanzania is 20Km across and is an amazing ecosystem - all the following animal pictures were taken here |

| We found a few days of tranquility at Mtoni Marine resort - just the two of us. It was a strange juxtaposition with the pool beside the mosque on the beach |

Wow, Peter and Nat I don't know what to say. The school looks AMAZING. I love the pictures of the construction. Your roadtrip to Zanzibar... the animal photos... incredible!!! I love the one of the lion with his lunch, and the acacia trees. Zanzibar looks beautiful. Glad you had a chance to relax just the two of you :) Happy honeymoon and congratulations on all your hard work!
