Day 15, 16, 17 Train ride abandoned . relaxing at Utengule

We were meant to catch the Tazara train at Mbeya around 2 pm and had been instructed to pick up our tickets in the morning.  Arrived around 11am and were advised that the train was not pulling a first class carriage and we would have to travel second class.   But they could not sell a second class cabin to us until the train arrived.

Drove the rental into Mbeya to transfer to the rental company at the TRA, and get Robin's passport stamped - took 2 hours.

Arrived back at the coffee lodge a bit worn out and decided to hole up at the coffee lodge and take either a bus or plane to Dar.

In the end decided on the aeroplane as this would maximise our relaxation and recovery from diarrhoea.

While Robin was flat on his back dying, Jane and Rosie enjoyed strolling amongst the coffee plants.
