Decided on another weekend get away. A friend in the village says I shouldn't pay for a car as he has an extra and is in good mechanical condition. Great I say, how about noon on Friday? Well, 12:45 rolls around (which is early for a noon appointment) and in comes about a 40 year old small white pick-up by the brand of Sunny - I think Yugo took over this brand and improved it. I figure what the hell, I can't hurt it. I squeeze into the front seat with my knees wrapped around the steering wheel and head hitting the roof. Now, everything is left hand drive here so it's even more challenging trying to pump the brakes (are brakes part of the mechanical system? I should ask my friend), downshift and stay on the left side of the road without running into anything. Fortunately, the river lodge I'm going to is only 70 kms away and the road is decent and I can average 40-50 kph without fearing a catastrophe.
This weekend is certainly going to be an adventure. If you don't hear from me in a couple days, send out a search party on the road from Meru to Timau. :-)
These are some thoughts and photos during my travels and providing health care around the world.
