The town of Shinyanga is about twenty miles South West from Mwadui. We used to go there on the bus, often me and my brother would be up front with the driver. There were only dirt roads and the ride was exhilarating to say the least. During the wet season flash floods were not uncommon as on occasions we had up to six inches [150mm] of rain at a time. I always found Shinyanga an exciting place with lots going on, the noise, the smells, & the constant movement. The market was a must for fresh fruit and all things African
.
That's Steve [Buddy] Hide haggling in the market. It was not just the market that we went to
Shinyanga for there was also the Poll Tax to pay, that's mum paying it above.
Bananas by the bunch & young Peter Hide is on the case

Mwanza is about 100 miles North East of Mwadui by dirt road through the bush on the shores of Lake Victoria
Giraffe's on the move in Mwanza
Mwanza was always a welcome break with its architecture and wildlife
A hundred miles of dirt roads through the bush and here we are in Mwanza.
