We will be gone soon ... promise

If you haven't seen the update on 'bushcats' Richard is out of hospital, on
Thursday, and now on the mend. He has an appointment with his doctor first
thing on Monday and if given the green light they will make haste to Kruger.
We are still holding position at Tsendze, its tough but someone has to do
it, and will extend our stop here, again, until Tuesday night ready for an
early start into Mozambique on Wednesday. We are keeping busy with trying to
get the truck and the packing as we want it and doing some odd jobs here and
there that we didn't get done before we left or that we have dreamed up
since.
Yesterday we had a nice drive out in the morning, after packing up camp, and
saw a fair amount of elephant, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, various buck, and a
few birds. We hit our first gravel track with what seemed like bad
corrugations, I am sure there is a lot worse to come, and discovered the odd
rattle or two emanating from somewhere. We think that those have been
resolved but until we head out again we wont know.
Today is odd job day again, and Sue has been hand washing (she loves it
really). Coffee has been brewed, the sun is shining, and the solar panel is
giving the auxiliary battery a good kick up the rear.

Here is a picture of Sue's kitchen cupboard, I fitted it out (he says smugly), with supervision of course, and there is room around the corner inside to the left called 'the Tardis'.



Oh, and the route blog has been updated with a very rough idea of where we
are aiming for on the trip
