Left or right? - Taking the ‘Pretty’ Route

Normally when we walk to work we turn right outside our house. For a change Malcolm decided to explore where turning left would lead.

It was not a short cut to work!

Iringa is built on a hill. It was a strong defensive position for the local tribe and then for the German’s when they colonised Tanzania. Unfortunately for Malcolm turning left took him the wrong side of the hill, down a narrow track, to the outskirts of Iringa, all the way to the bottom. This meant he had to walk all the way up the steep road and concrete footpath to reach the town.

But there were good views of the country.

 

The steep steps he climbed to return to the town led to one of the street markets. Unfortunately the nearby stream was choked with plastic bags discarded at the market.

 

At Neema Crafts work is progressing with a new counter for the café. The basic frame is welded and a top is being prepared by Mateso. Unfortunately some modification will be required as the end of the counter should bend to the right, not the left. Just another minor diversion.

So remember. Although the other way may seem at first pretty, always take the right way!
