BROKEN BRIDGES AND CLIFF DRIVING 1 July 2008 Day 122 QENP Ishasha - Kisoro (Virunga Hotel Campsite S1 16.908 E29 41.209) Km BRUCE: Today was one of those days, that when it ends, you either love it or hate it. We spent the morning agreeing that the gorillas are too expensive but that we'd still like to go to Mgahinga and hike on the volcanoes as it sounds awesome. It is right in the south west corner of Uganda and borders the DRC and Rwanda. We chatted to a ...

But the Dutch couple, who've had a few leaks in their cruiser, told us to just monitor it and gave us some fibreglass to patch the tank...

10 June 2008 Day 101 Malindi (KWS Campsite) 0km SARAH: It was a good thing that Bruce put our makeshift awning up as it rained on and off all day. So much for getting a tan! After omelette we had a long walk along the beautiful beach to town. We are the only white tourists in town so got the usual hassle from the local beach boys to go snorkelling etc. The curio market for tourists had 700 shops and we were the only tourists in there. We 'looked for luck' in ...

WELDING UBHEJANE BACK TOGETHER 5 June 2008 Day 96 Nairobi (Jungle Junction) 0km BRUCE: We were out of the gate at 7:30 sharp this morning and we were at Schumacher Land Rover specialists (S1 20.570 E36 43.412) before they opened. While we were there we saw 2 other landies from Jungle Junction so this must be the place! I went for a test drive with Robert, their head mechanics, and he had his guys check the steering from end to end and all they could find...
