We have finally arrived in Kigoma, on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika. We are staying at the High Tech Lodge, facing the lake and down the red dirt path to TAFIRI, where our "lab" space will be. Not too much has been accomplished as our gear will not arrive until tomorrow on the train, but we did spend some time cleaning out the lab house (basically wiping away rat poo, reorganizing tables, and chasing away geckos) and even made a visit to the "Prison Bar" on the beach. Can't complain too much there...
Above are a few shots taken in Kigoma so far (from top to bottom):
1) The baggage claim at the Kigoma airport. Much faster than normal baggage claims...
2) The internet cafe in Kigoma where I am writing this - called "Baby Come and Call" - you can't make this stuff up.
3) The Fish House at TAFIRI - aka our new lab space.
4) Sunset over Lake Tanganyika.
5) Our hotel - the High Tech Lodge...just don't expect to get dinner in under an hour.
