The Long Post Home
Waiting in Entebbe for post….campsite is 4quid per night so not too bad. They keep having power cuts so showers are delayed sometimes by hours ! This is no good as we can no longer go 5 or 7 days…
My Huge Toolbox
for those that wonder about my tool box. Its a three draw affair bolted in the back of the landy. The small battery drill i got my father as a present somehow ended up in the landorver and he got…
Nile River Explorers Camp
We found a good camp in the name of the above. Its meant to be $5 per night but we did a deal and pay slightly less. We decided to stay 2 nights…maybe three. I’m tempted to pay the $125…
Uganda Here We Are
The other day (1/3/12) we left the campsite in Naiberi near Eldoret and travelled the Uganda. The border crossing was easy and apart from being fined for not paying road tax in Kenya it all went smoothly. We had another 100usd…
A Very Sick Lady With A High Temperature

Matilda Is Dead
OK….its a coma.Stripped bolt on the transfer box so we are stranded. Major work to drill it and re-thread the hole and put in a thing called a Helicoil. Had it out already and now I need to take it…
Like A Rubber Ball
New shocks fitted so we’re back on track for moving on. Its a bit more bouncy that before but my articulation is the same, possibly better. Good thing that some roads here are so bad i can drive 1000 meters…

I Feel Like Rubbish
After an evening of self cooked food i woke this morning to full on trouble, resulting in three trips and feeling shaky and tired. The other guests (Julie and Henning) are fine so i must have picked something up in…
Kenya Get Internet Here
yes you can……So here we are passed the equator and safe and sound in Nairobi. I bet you can’t guess who’s here???? Henning arrived just after us with his broken motorcycle. He mashed his bike really good on the road…
Internet Void
Nothing works in Ethiopia. The Internet is patchy to say the least. The internet cafe’s have at most a couple of Mb/sec so its almost impossible to do anything. Hopefully all will get better later on. This is the thrid…
