We replaced them with some pieces of tyre we found on the ground...

The road towards Kenya. Rain on the way
Happy after his free ride
Mud!
He loved it but stood on the sunroof which was very concerning indeed
A brief spell of tarmac road blocked by cows. The locals have an interesting approach to livestock

The view towards Lake Turkana (heading towards Kenya)
But muddy
Magnificent!
Then a whole truck-full of them arrived.

The end of the tarmac, the start of the roughest road in the known universe. The end of our cars as we know it.

Lunchtime and a new record for beggars. We parked in a deserted area. It took 4 minutes to attract 27 beggars, some donkeys and two local buskers(!). Where do these people come from!?
The finest Bolognese sauce this side of Aswan
Another Spaniard (Ariadna)
