TRAVELING IN Tanzania AFRICA By PHOEBE

Before we left Masaka, Uganda we were looking for a matutu to take us to the border. When we finally found a matatu they tied our bags onto the roof of the vehicle and then filled up the petrol tank.

Then we drove around the town for about half an hour trying to find more people wanting a ride to the border.

Most of the matatus have a license to carry 14 people but the most I have been in had 25 people inside it.

When we got going we were so squished and hot that dad bought us some mangos. The mangos were 1000 Ugandan shillings a bag with 24 mangos in it (that's about 80c a bag or 4c each)

The ride from Masaka to the Tanzanian border took about two and a half hours.

We paid the taxi driver and put our bags on our back and walked to the immigrations office.

All of us filled out a Ugandan exit form and got our passports stamped out, then went over to the Tanzanian side and filled out a arrival form and got our passports stamped in and received a visa.

The only thing that was annoying was the black market. Lots and lots of local people were trying to swap there Tanzanian shillings for our Ugandan shillings. What they do is give you a very good price can't refuse, taking your money then behind your eyes swapping the real notes for fake notes then they change the price so you ask for your money back then they give you the fake note and not the real note!

When all of us were in Tanzania a group of local people arranged a mini-van for us so take us all the way up to a town called Bacoba. The drive took us 3 hours. Again they had a license to carry seven people and they were carrying fourteen. Bacoba isn't a very big town but bigger then most. This was the town that we caught the big ferry to Mwanza at. But before we were allowed of the ferry we had to wait till they unpacked all the cargo, check the ferry and things like that so we ended up waiting for another 3 hours.

There were some little kids that I was playing with. They kept me amused! On the ferry we were asking people were the second class cabins were but we soon found out that our tickets said second class sitting, which we though was the same thing but apparently it meant sitting in chairs all night.

That nigh it was hard to sleep on the chairs, there was no breeze, it was hot and the humidity was unbelievable!! Every now and then dad and I went up on deck to get some breeze on our faces.

The next morning our ferry arrived in Mwanza at 5:30 in the morning. ( just incase wanted to know the ferry departed at 9:30 and arrived at obviously 5:30 in the morning)

It was awesome watching them unloading the cargo; they were even unloading cars and 4x4 vehicles too!

We were finally in Mwanza!

Traveling around the world is a great activity to pursue at almost any age provided you are in proper health to handle the rigors of international student travel.

Sometimes, the demands of modern life seem to require an endless supply of energy. It’s hard enough just trying to squeeze everything in, then finding the energy to actually do everything presents a whole other obstacle. Are *YOU* low on natural energy?

When it comes to maintaining your good health, even when we try to eat well, we're still disadvantaged…
The nutritional content of most food has been compromised over the years, not only by deficient soils and modern production, transportation, storage and processing methods, but also by the enormous amounts of chemical and artificial substances added to promote growth, storage life, taste and appearance.

It's for this reason that more and more medical authorities are advocating the use of vitamin and mineral supplements. However, finding them in the right combination can be both confusing and costly.

The best nutrition products I know of make use of knowledge gained from the botanical world's 6,000 year history. They incorporated health building nutritional herbs with the best modern technology to help our bodies cleanse and detoxify so that the cells - the tiniest living units - can be as fully nourished as possible.

This allows the cells to grow, repair and to perform their functions with the best possible efficiency so that we feel and look better and are more able to prevent and fight disease. Once the body begins to clear itself of toxins it can more efficiently absorb nutrition.
