Location: Issenye, Tanzania

The team managed to arrive at Issenye fifteen minutes before the New Year started.

An open-bed truck full of fish eventually passed by, and for quite an amount of money they decided to take us. So the gear went in, and the team ended up with standing room on the edges of the cargo tray, holding on to the handle bars, fresh wind in our faces, as we bounced down the road under a dark blue evening sky.

Um, anyway, this is the lodge where we stayed for the day.



This is the official "day off" where the team did some much-needed laundry, and compulsory showers for the lads :)

The team also had a chance to take a walk around the surrounding area. Notice the morning mist still lifting off near the horizon.



This is as far as the walk went, with a signpost to another village



During evening mealtime, Ken-zinny decided to drink a cup of chai - complete with goat milk and much sugar.

Ken-zinny is our 14th team member, doesn't say much, and always acts as an encouragement to the team.



Ken-zinny rides the water bottle as if it is a rocket. Okay, so the stunt photography was just a little transparent, but at least there was no photochopping involved ;-)
