Long journey back to Arusha – we left at 7 am to get back as early as possible so that we could to get the Landrover checked over. A long 7 hour journey followed and pretty uneventful journey except getting stopped at lots of police check points and advised by a very nice policeman at one checkpoint to get our now very dirty landrover cleaned and then nicked for speeding at another one. Apparently you are supposed to slow down to 50 kph at warning signs for cows and we were doing 64 kph (40 mph) – as there are cows everywhere we thought this was a little unlikely but paid up anyway. The guys at Safari Drive said it was a new one on them but anything seems to go at the moment in the run up to the election.
Arrive in Arusha to a flurry of activity - landrover off to the garage to get the diff lock checked out, fridge fixed and temporary radiator hose replaced whilst tent also sent off to also have a few repairs done to it.
After landrover returned and a mad dash by Safari Drive as tent rods still missing - it is now 10pm and hopefully everything now working for the trip south tomorrow as it will be another early start and long drive!
