12th of April - Over the border towards Tete - We are in Mozambique!!.


Mozambique border post at Zombe
Tete Bridge

Some nice scenery


...But the roads are super tough on the Borgi. 50% of the Tarmac is missing with large pot holes. Progress is very slow.
Then Colin hits a pot hole at high speed 60km/h. We have to stop the oil filter actuator is bent and the throttle is not working. To cap it all 20km later we find we have a puncture.


I
I have had better days.....its tough out there.



We meet some locals and have dinner with them. They are installing telecom masts. Most of there team has gone down with Malaria in the last week.

ein Land mehr. Am Montag wissen wir mehr, sind noch viele km. Gruss, F.

Happy Easter, just entered MOZ and listening to ABBA Gold... On the road to
Tete, potholes seem to be bomb craters, size of Land Rovers....
