You have to try to imagine how I was sitting at breakfast this morning looking out onto this spectacular Chagga (the local tribe around Kilimanjaro mountain) ornamental garden full of anthirium, bouganvillea, papaya, mango, grevillea, draceana, and a dozen other beautiful plants. In many ways it is also very traditional for this location and includes stonework, terraces, and an honoured space as a burial plot for the parents and grand-parents, marked on the corners with Draceana. So then you also have to imagine that behind me is a tiny (or is that tinny?) TV blarring American R&B videos while I'm sipping tea and eating fresh mango on the edge of paradise.
