After I filled up in Rundu, my bike was dead and the battery terminal came loose , so had to delve into that.
Leaving early is the only way, while it is still cool,17* C , by 10am it is 30*C finishing up at 35* by mid afternoon.
Thunderheads start to build in the afternoon and and the sky goes black and lightning days across the sky and then it buckets down, so nice, if you're not on a dirt road.
Had a shower and put on some clean clothes for the first time since leaving Cape Town. Had a great evening with some Dutchies, Mom, son and soon to be wife. Refreshing to see kids traveling with their folks, couldn't think of anything more fun.
Hi ROY
ReplyDeleteI’m related by marriage to your friend Lindsey. I come from Joburg, long time ago. I’ve been to most of the places you’ve been to so far. Great reporting, made me nostalgic!! Spent some time with my parents going round Zambia in the 1960s. The area where you are now was pretty wild and dangerous and I don’t mean danger from animals either Lots going on in what was then the Congo… it’s a whole other word once you get to Tanzania…the Lakes are just amazing..wonder what climate change is doing there. East Africa brilliant..both highlands and the sea..been there by plane but will be interested in what it’s like doing it the hard way…. Cheers Theo
