It is lovely feeling packing up one's camping gear and not bursting out into a sweat because of the humidity! What a pleasure. We are the road early and thank god for my 5 liters of petrol in my Jerry can because, it is not long that run out of fuel. After a quick emptying of the Jerry can, we are on our way again. We eventually arrive in a little town and fill up with fuel. I also manage to find a roadside food stall which servers tea and japati bread. David and I whip out our honey, we purchase all the way back in Mozambique, together with peanut butter and proceed to have the most amazing breakfast on the trip thus far. When I am back in Johannesburg, I am going to make myself peanut butter pancakes, and see if they are as nice.
After a lovely breakfast, it is back on the bikes to Moshi. 100 km from Moshi, our map says we should see glimpses of mount Kilimanjaro however, the clouds do not play along and we are horribly disappointed. Even on arrival in Moshi, we still are unable to get a glimpse of the mountain.
So finally off to Arusha. On the way,I encounter the worse driving i have ever experienced. Cars that overtake with on coming traffic, and force the on coming traffic off the road. Minibus taxis and busses that drive through traffic calming zones with huge speed humps at 100 km/h and in the process force other people off the road. All I can say, what a nightmare! Anyway, we eventually arrive in Maasai campsite, to discover that our fellow Canadian bikers are also there. They share their Safari experience with us, and the fact that they managed to see parts of the great migration makes us green with envy!
I am not feeling very well and are showing all the symptoms of Malaria, so decide to do the test. The testis negative however, I still feel like shit!
