Nana's Second visit to Dodoma

As we mentioned in our Christmas post. Jenny's mum came to visit us again. As well as celebrating both Christmas and New Year's with friends, here's a bit more about her trip!


She got up to all kinds of mischief while she was here, baking with the girls ...


Putting the Christmas face paints to good use ...


Having her hands sawn off during a play dough session ...


Lots of giggling and snuggling ...


We were able to introduce to her to many of our friends ...


This time round she had a go at tailoring her own African outfit, instead of having one made ...


As it was the school holidays for this visit, we all got to go away to the beach for a few days together in Dar Es Salaam which was wonderful.






We did a little bit of touristy shopping ... and went to some 'real' supermarkets, with shopping trolleys (seriously, when you live in Dodoma, that it REALLY exciting!!).



The choice of restaurants in Dar is huge compared to Dodoma too and the girls were really keen to go back to the Ethiopian where you don't have to use cutlery, to show Nana what it was like!


We had the chance to catch up with some of Nana's friends in Dar one afternoon too which was nice ...


And then, all too soon we had to say goodbye again and we drove back to Dodoma, while she travelled back to the UK.
