Birthday Bash

Early birthday rise for me....even though we had dogs fighting all night in the compound, we were very blessed to have found the help we did.

We had 88km to Tunduma.....and the last 60km, we were told by Andre, was a nightmare....like Moyale....So I was preparing myself for a long day.

After a hard road we finally reached TAR!!!!! WOOOO HOOOO!!! I was the happiest chick biker in the world.

We then pushed to get to the Malawi boarder, which once again, there was no issues or hassles to get through. We also met another overlanding team heading north from Cape Town who just so happened to work with one of Liindsay's friends he had met in London, Deon. What a small world we live in......the chances of meeting someone in a remote place in London is smaller than meeting people you may know in Africa.

Sangilo Lodge

Finally we reached Sangilo Lodge at 7pm.....what a intense 2 days riding. We were both tired, and to add to the stress of driving, Lindsay noticed about 200km from Sangilo, that his rear shocks's seals had gone, which meant he was just riding on a spring and any bump in the road caused him to bounce quite badly.......so I had to take on some of the weight from his bike to help minimise damage to the bike. I think we are going to be in Malawi till this gets sorted, hopefully in the next week or so, let me tell you that it's not the worse place in the world to be stuck......
