Driving on the roads in Africa is not
quite like here at home. Holes in the bad roads in Africa are held
together with a bit of tarmac every few meters, if you are lucky - but
when you get to the really bad roads, then it's holes, rocks and mud or
sand - or maybe the road has just disappeared under a deluge of water. A
river can also just materialise in a matter of minutes, making it
impossible to continue until it subsides. This can take minutes, hours,
or days and if you are really unlucky - weeks!!! The two pictures show the 6mm aluminium plate under the vehicle that should offer some protection from the worst roads Africa can throw at us. |
| Karen has now got all the drawers packed. Suitcases
filled with the clothes we will need for a year in Africa have also been
blended into the landscape in the canopy. Amazing how much has been put
into the back of the vehicle, without it seeming at all full. Apart from the things you can see in the drawers we have a compressor with fittings, winch with fittings, sand tracks, two jacks, towing tackle etc. |
