Having a, or rather two, motorbikes in the village

... was very popular

Children were simply wild about the thing
whereas some elders, seeing that I always returned in one piece from 'off-track' trips in the mountains,
thought I had 'certain' capabilities normally only held by wachawi

Henrik and Henrik - this child born after my first stay there in 1996, is baptized after me, was entitled to sit on the bike with me

moving to the village, a Landrover was hired to transport the things

the Ruvuma River is the border between Tanzania and Mozambique, three hours drive from the village, southwards

at Lake Nyasa/ Lake Malawi, three hours drive from the village, eastwards

a small river constitutes the border between Tanzania and Mozambique next to Lake Malawi
