How Long Does It Take Head Lice To Show Up

Xenia felt today still do not quite fit, but we are still up to Maralal down. In Nairobi, we have adopted from other travelers and Chris, brought money and refueled. Then we went to the beautiful high street across the Rift Valley. Up the road was paved Rumuruti (but from Gilgil with some potholes), then followed by many kilometers of slopes. We have crossed the equator her, too.

In Nyahururu, we decided to drive right up to Maralal on. That was then but a long day of driving. We were glad when we in the "Yare Camel Club "the Spaniards, the French and an Italian couple (with a new Defender also on the way to Addis Ababa - they make Trans Africa in stages) met. Tomorrow we go together then. Later also met Tina and Lutz (with bush taxi on the way to Cape Town - www.bushtracks.de ) a. Sun gabs to chat much. In the evening we sat a little with the night watchman (a Samburu traditional clothes) together and have talked more.

We thought there was a short stage today (ONLY 150 km) we started at eleven. The Italians tried in the time to get exit stamps because they do not already have. The runway was then unexpectedly difficult, and so we needed to dusk, to reach the "Lekuka Camping in South Horr.

And again, in sometimes difficult slopes down to Lake Turkana. It's a lot of bare rocks and rough lava fields. We are pretty shaken up. In Loiyangalani we see only the "Palm Shade Camp to, but the price is too high, so we opt for the El Molo Lodge. Here, we pay less and can even use the pool. A local supplies us with bread and chapatis, we must not even the village.

Thursday, 11/26/2009

Closed - We are sitting in the shade by the pool and play with Jo and Hugo (the kids of the French). Adriano and try Eletra (the Italians) again to get stamps to leave the works, but not.

with two passengers (with Marc and novel), we go all the coast to the gate of the "Sibiloi NP". The track is better, but still difficult places. At the gate we do not pay the $ 20 U.S. per person entrance fee and first make a bush camp in front of the park

Today we are looking for a detour around the park. We have compared several maps, but not the first track to the north found. So we drove a little further towards North Horr us to a "slope" (sometimes you could see tire tracks in the sand) found the results to the north. Which we followed up on (in Tracks4Africa marked) "Korka-Village". From there we fought across country to the north through the desert.

There were many deep (dry) rivers and some dunes to cross. Ramon (Santana), Marc (he of the 130-Landy) and Adriano (the new Defender) had to be rescued several times. What do you get the sand ladders, shovels, sand mats and mountain belts in the car? The winch was used by Marc. I'm glad I never needed such help (the only the "sand plate mill" in a soft dune drive I took to complete). Marc's 130-he is a bit too long and he's got some minor damage to the cabin. There were then 3 km from the nearest ski in the dunes a beautiful bush camp.

And off we went across country on track to moderate. After one last deep river bed we have reached this and so it went a little faster (average speed 15 km / h instead of 8 km / h) on. After lunch fings to rain heavily, and so came what had to come: Marc still stuck in the mud. Again shovels, sand sheets and attach winch to put the Toyo, and he was free. A little later the whole thing again, this time was allowed but Adriano's Defender as a fixed point for the heavy 130-he serve Landy. Long as we drove through some deep water runs, until we reached the military post by Darat, where we camped. With the mud it down to my bush taxi per a pebble into the cover of the brake discs (was a nasty grinding noise, but otherwise not bad ...) I had to quickly remove the front wheels to remove the stones.

Today we went to mostly very good track, all the park border. Although Roman had a flat tire after 5 km, but the tire was changed quickly and we soon went on to Ileret. Here we are in the area of the military base. Hopefully, the soldiers room not too loud. Roman repaired by using the starter Marc of Santana, as we now often had to push him once. Tomorrow we will then cross the border Ethiopia.
