Day 50, 2011/06/20 Nairobi

Hell,it is day 50 already. As for all those people who thought we would be back in a week! Well we proved them wrong! Anyway, the day was a little active than it has been of late. We managed to get David's passport couriered back to SA,witness hopefully all the necessary info to obtain this Ethiopian Visa. Sometimes i wonder if they even look at any of the documents you furnish them with. Like explain to me, if we are doing an overland trip,how booked accommodation is going to be of help to them? Also since we do know when we will be getting the visa hence, we will not know when we will be arriving in the country, hence we can not book any accommodation with certainty! Yon starting to understand the level of frustration we need to contend with! And as for the ORIGINAL copies of car registration and yellow fever certificate? Why, will a photocopy not do? 
Anyway, enough botching,all we can do is send all this back, furnish the embassy with it and hope it makes its way back to us safely, with visa. 
Once that was all sorted, it was off to the campsite for a quick service of the bike. Since the rain managed to water damage both my spare oil and air filter, I am a little weary to replace them. So instead, I just do a quick oil change and make sure to clean out my existing air filter with compressed air. Hopefully, that should be enough to get me all the to Europe.
