Gotta love business class!

Tanzania:

Drove from Dar Es Salaam to Mbeya, Dodoma, Mwanza, Arusha and back to Dar Es Salaam.
Couldn't see Kilimanjaro though it was misty.

Frost

Mozambique: Guinjata Bay.

Note this as a passenger I'm not a pilot..

I sincerely apologize for being away for a while, no pun intended... So the saga continues.. The flight log has grown longer, the number of countries visited has increased, Portuguese has grown on me slightly, the Setswana has faded somewhat, and French is a challenge of late. I have come to accept ...

Experimenting a bit with the new S5 camera:

Dinner last night was questionable though, as I'm spending most of the morning on the toilet..... :wth:

Frost

Gotta love the brekkie at Souther Sun...

For Example:

(Apparently the garlic is to keep the mozzies away...)

Haha!

Worst is spending a few weeks out there eating as much seafood as possible, and coming home to the family wanting to go to Ocean Basket....

So on a trip to Lesotho we decided to follow the GPS on a 'shorter' route to Oxbow Lodge. Little did we know that the supposed road turned out to be a donkey cart track.... Turned out to be quite a low range adventure!! We stayed at Oxbow Lodge @ 2800m HASL and about froze to death! No snow yet but ...

Frost

So lost complete track of time, day, month, year, country,flight number, and so forth...

Thanks for the kuier guys! Much appreciated!

Looking foward to th next GTG!

(Hope the campers survived the braving cold!)

Some more photos:

Frost

Here are a few pics. One thing i've learned from the travells (especially from the rural areas), is that we can be very thankfull for the basic things like a roof over our heads, running water, food, and the list goes on... Without a doubt the best hotel of the project so far. Pretty huge contrast o...

And let us know of the total weight of the shell?

Frost

Looks good bud! I am definitely next in line. Smaak to see the finished shell when its done, as weve talked about I would like to see the sealing of the doors and the inside of the doors idea, coz im skeeming of having the basic frame built at the same time for mounting the goodies on the inside. No...

Frost

Hey bud,

Looks good so far and your ideas are great. Looking forward to seeing the progress!

Frost

Very true!

Trying to get back in to the homely routine!
Nothing like a good SA braai and a home cooked meal though!

So have you decided to go somewhere on Saturday?
On my way home from Zambia tomorrow and itching to take the beast for a drive...

Frost

Hotel Executive in Nampula.
One of the better ones in town!

Frost

Still in Tete, I'm not too sure what this place was called, but after a scorching 41 degree day with a pool, a great view of the Zambezi in the background and ice cold beer, it didnt really matter either!

Frost

Stayed at the new Park-Inn Radisson Hotel in Tete. Very pretty, very pricey.

Frost

Awesome view and very neat town!
It is sad although development everywhere and foreign currency flowing around so things are on they way up.
But will probably still take a while.

In Tete now and have a great view of the Zambezi!!

Pics to follow...

So arrived in Quelimane Mozambique last night at 11:30, all in the dark and no idea where I was, and after having a good sleep at the hotel, woke up to this scene this morning.....
