Delay in going Home
Bad news. The front left wheel bearing failed again and in the process damaged the drive gear. Have spoken to Willem and as usual he has kindly offered to supply spares.
Rodney is again helping with the DHL part of the equation and Dieter has offered to do the running around. Thanks all. We will be doing something for a few days that we are not good at ..... nothing just relaxing. Eish that will be hard.
We are at Utengule Lodge and Campsite. This is part of a coffee estate in the foothills just outside Mbeya in the south of Tanzania (100 km from Tanduma, the border with Zambia). We are parked on the edge of a helipad so will be easy to fly in spares hehehe.
We could not have picked a better spot.

Arrived at Dodoma earlier today. Travelled just over 500 km and I only got 1 speeding fine. About R200 I will try a bit harder tomorrow. Booked into a pretty good Hotel for the night and will proceed to Mbeya tomorrow. Nighty Night. All well.

Lamu
We have arrived at Hotel Peponi on Lamu Island on the north coast of Kenya.
We have a very nice room with a large balcony right on the beach. The picture shows our view. Peponi means paradise and rightly so.

This morning our parcel of spares arrived. Monday I will do the necessary. Today we fly to Lamu for a few days of R&R before we look for the long road home.
