Day 42 Down and out and Driving

Monday January 25th. Today was a long, boring day while we drove and I tried to recover. I kept dozing on and off most of the day, but it's really hard to sleep with all the bumpy roads and people talking. There are hundreds of speed bumps on all of the roads in Africa. It's there way of slowing you down for schools, bends in the road, towns or any reason they feel like. On our truck you really feel the bumps. We stopped for an hour in some town, but I just stayed on the bus and slept. John went and got a hair cut.

After a long drive we arrived at camp. Niaberi Overlanders Campgound is quite a nice place, like a safari lodge you might picture. Apparently Bill Gates stayed here for a night in 2009, probably as part of his malaria project.

I'm just laying low and intend to head to bed very early. I had a wonderfully hot shower and shaved my head again. While I was showering I noticed the water running out of the stall and thought “I wonder where that is going?” I open the door and all my clothes were sitting in a big puddle! Had to laugh. So I put them on and got back in the shower and washed them too!
