Swiss Chalet - in Africa!

So yes we are a bit behind on our blogs ... hmmm ... lets blame the cast on my leg shall we?

So late in July before school started up again (as it is just now) we had a very nice week anyway of a road trip / vacation starting with a night up in the Usumbara Mountains - heading towards the East coast of Tanzania.  There is a Swiss farm/lodge there that our friends recommended as being beautiful, with great food, and worth the scenic drive up!  So we did it!

They had our dinner waiting/ready for us when we arrived fairly late in the evening ...

Nice enough room with a bunk bed that Theo used anyway (sleeping on the bottom) and we woke up to a VERY VERY chilly morning with our breakfast served outside ...

Wolly blankets were very much needed this morning, but the food was very good.

Here is a shot of the path leading up to our cottage on the right.

and before we left - one of the staff found a chameleon for us to say hello to -

Beautiful winding drive up and down, much more appreciated in the daytime/morning so we could see the vistas and views and waterfalls occasionally!
