| Gombe is Tanzania's smallest park and also its most expensive. $100 per day for foreign tourists. Ouch! That doesn't include $20 per person lodging and the $10 per person guide fee. With these kind of prices, we leave Gombe after one day, but we saw many chimpanzees. | |||

Gombe has a wonderful beach
where visitors can swim or go fishing. The beach also serves as a taxi stop. This
morning we sat on the beach with our bags and waved down a passing lake taxi (no
roads come into the park). | |||

Back
in Kigoma at the city internet cafe - "Baby come & call" - our first
internet check in a month. | |||
 | |||
| In the afternoon we fought the crowds and
secured a place on the only transport out of Kigoma - the thrice weekly train. | |||
