Relocation to Shinyanga Jan.30

Today our hired driver, Anniset drove us along a fairly nice highway to the southerly city of Shinyanga where the World Vision district office is located. We will start our W.Vision tour here tomorrow.
We checked in to the Hotel Karena. All the hotels here have bathrooms where the entire room is the shower, so you can do many jobs while showering. Just watch out for the wet floor for the rest of the day. All of the common areas and bar/ restaurants are outdoors, sometimes with a roof for shade.
The food has been good and usually includes some kind of chicken or fish with rice or potatoes. Always thoroughly cooked. Most places there is no ice but drinks are sometimes cold if the power is on. All locals will not drink cold drinks as they are used to everything warm.
See photo of hotel cooking area using charcoal which is officially illegal to produce or sell in Tanzania but, 90% of the people use every day.
The cook is BBQing our chicken and heating oil for potato fries.
