Day 5, 2011/05/06
Had a sense of humor failure with the Mosquitos. These things just do not know when enough is enough. They stung me through my socks and my t-shirt. Eventually we just happy to get going so that we can get away from them. It is about 200 km north on the. EN1 to Zordova. All tar except for the last 16 km. But first, we need some food and fuel,so off to the Engen. While there David spots something wrong with my master link,so quick refitting of it is required. At same time, we meet fellow South Africans, who are on there way to Guinjata. They say they have booked accommodation for 8 but, some of their fellow travellers have decided to return home and hence, wether we want accommodation for Saturday with them? I was not sure if it was the thought of not having to pitch a tent or, the fact they said hey watching the stormers game that made me take them up on their offer.
The first part of the day was relatively un eventful however, after our lunch stop, the scenery started to become spectacular. Cocconut and palm trees are now just everywhere and the most amazing views of islands with turques waters.
Eventually, we get to our overnight stop. A lovely campsite on the beach, and after a lovely swim, shower and dinner it is off to bed early.

This is a blog of my Trans Africa Bike Trip. I left on May 2nd 2011, with my friend David Strong. We followed the East coast, visiting Mozambique, Tanzania and Kenya. In Kenya we both broke down, and once we managed to fix both bikes, David decided to return to South Africa via Uganda, Ruanda etc.. I continued on traveling through Ethiopia,Sudan,Egypt,Israel,Italy, France,Switzerland,Belgium and England, ending in London. In Sudan I traveled with an amazing couple from the UK, Naomi and Dave.
