Heading South now. Cross into Zambia and Kapisha tomorrow. We lost one day as we were advised not to take the Dodomo road so we went round.
This was probably a wise decision as the Serengeti and the crater had taken its toll on the vehicles. We are now on our third fuel
filter. We went through baobab valleys and mountains, we are quite high up now, so it is much cooler.
The kids are recognise the flags we have put on the car and run along chanting Bafana Bafana. Some of them even know the names of the team members. Good luck to Ghana.
We stopped off at Arusha to replenish supplies again. Camped at Segera - probably the least desirable campsite we stayed at the whole trip and one we will not forget. The "campsite" was at the back of the "lodge" and we decided th to opt for their "a la carte" menu - as there were no facilities for us to wash dishes etc. and the water was a problem (no pressure). As we arrived a guy caught and slaughtered a number of chickens (presumably for our meal!) but when we arrived at the table we were told that the chicken was not ready yet so we had to settle for goat stew with a strange selection of vegetables, no dessert and coffee but no milk ($10 per head). The watch dogs decided that Ian's shoes (which he left at the bottom of the ladder) were rather tasty so he now has a pair of Segera designer sandals.
