We have made Malawi !!!!!!!
A long days ride, roads good and we are making up for lost time in Kenya Just parked up by the side of a lake in Karanga. Staying in a motel, with a beach front room, for £3.70 per night B&B. More importantly the beer is only 35p a pint..

Monday night -
Arrived in Sambala Safari Lodge in Iringa.
We are only about 300 miles from Malawi border. Sounds posh, lovely but very basic & no phones so you can't speak to me tonight. It reminds me a bit of Midnight Express! Big ride today, we did 480 miles. Tanzania is beautiful - top of the African countries so far. Should make Malawi by lunch on Wednesday. Saw horrific coach crash en route - 5 dead and we are now watching it on TZ TV news - not like UK, they show everything. Will email Rob with update when Blaclberry has internet signal again.

I spoke to Nick C. Sunday night and he texted this morning.
The guys stayed in a game reserve last night in a place called Same. I received a text this morning saying they're on the road from Morogoro to Iringa and making great progress. The roads are terrific, however Nick C's bike is coughing and spluttering.
