Not everyone gets to ride up front... Hence the copilot glasses to keep some of the crap out of your eyes.
Martin, chilling in the back, while you can. Note the Copilots position in the Bakkie.
So, why would someone opt to be in the rear of the Bakkie???
Some of the road was tar, BUT, the majority was NOT...
There was also a large part of the roadway under construction and this lovely chalk powder made its way into everything, in the vehicle following. (Where I was)
For those who have been in a snow blizzard, think white out and complete inability to see the road at times.
This picture is of the light dust when I had enough guts to pull the camera out.
I did not cotton on to the need to follow so close initially. The concern was about being left to negotiate the bane of the trip alone. Not a fun experience for the driver.
When I got to camp I swore "I would not do that again". Following in the dust was not at all pleasant. Everyone knew and adjusted behaviour accordingly from that point onward.
We made stops along the way, dodged traffic, large trucks and a Motor bike that two guys did a lovely pirouette off of in front of us. Imagine two guys and a bike emerging out of the billowing dust. Swerving to ensure you don't hit them and then making sure you are not taking anyone else out that is in the dust on the other side. It's an adventure.
Whistle stop. Cold Manica and a Mobile tower. Afternoon now so I can text home that I am alive.
Now the funniest thing I saw was the fact that there was a electronic point of payment at this little place. Note stock levels.
The local wildlife was already after Kurt.
A little while later we had another stop at a Tomb of a local celeb. It's just like Hollywood out here.
The translation:
"queen who reigned between the second half of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century that title acquired the first larval Mataca (che Nyambi) thanks to its decisive role in the liberation of slaves, that allowed grangear admiration in the Freed slaves Village."
So, she is not a slave trader but a slave liberator. Apparently. Simon was wondering about the real story behind the tomb.
It is also a very convenient place to obtain Nicotine uptake and water various wild plants on the road side.![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@14.0.2/assets/72x72/1f642.png)
