Welcome to the Not Yet Decrepit Traveller blog.
I am trying to see and experience everything I can of this wonderful world of ours, before I fall off my twig.

By this time the little niggling cough I had in Arusha had turned into a full-blown flu. I was wearing a mask to try to avoid giving this nasty virus to anyone but no time to rest, it was time to head to Northern Tanzania. We packed the gear, then headed to the airport.
