Heading Back Home

So our trip was just about over and we were about to head home ...
Here is one last shot of us (the last night) by the beach and the wind blew us around!
It was so lovely ...
We then took almost two days to drive back to Arusha, but we took it slow ...
The kids were remarkably good in the car generally ... just give them oodles of books, toys, and of course FOOD/SNACKS almost constantly and they can put up with just about anything! :)
We saw alot of sisal plants / fields along the way ... used to be a very big crop in the country but it has faded a bit ...
We also saw (as usual in this country) some interesting vehicles along the way ... watch out for this WIDE LOAD ... is that what it says?
We stopped at the 'Elephant Motel' on the way back to break up the journey.  We kept looking for elephants ... Theo especially but no luck!  There was a nice play park however and it was a nice rest stop for a looooong journey home!
