Village

2025-02-05: On our way to the East Usambara Mountains, we encountered some overheating of the car. After some attempts at repair, it was determined that we needed a mechanic. The driver headed off in a tuk-tuk into town while we were stranded on the side of the road. To kill time, we walked down a path toward the village. People were very surprised to see us there. It didn't take especially long to get the car repaired, and we continued on our way.
