The
next morning around 05.00 poor Hector took me to the bus - actually
really up to the coach. It was incredibly darkly there. Hundreds of
wanabe passengers wandered in the bus station in search of their bus.
For sure, mine was last
in the long row. It's always like this.
The
bus needed eight hours to Mikindani, which is some minutes before
Mtwara. That's, where I got out of the bus, as I already heard from
other travelers, that Mtwara is neither nice nor interesting.

Mikindani
is both - very small, only a few thousand people live here. But
absolutely charming locals, a few old Swahili houses, palm trees, banana
plants, many Baobab trees. And a really nice
Guesthouse - 10 Degrees South. Here, I did a 2-day stop to recharge
batteries.
These were nice and restful days in Mikindani - going for a
walk in the palm gardens, drinking tea in one of the small shops,
watching women doing mats out of palm leaves, examining vegetables and
fruit with the locals in their garden and shop directly there.

Mikindani is also a great diving spot - have a look under http://www.eco2tz.com/
I am no diver, but
the photos look quite great!
