Location: Somewhere in Kenya

The team left Tarime early in the morning to the Tanzanian / Kenyan border in three Corolla stationwagons and left Tanzania without incident.

However the Kenyan customs authorities either were not totally awake, or were trying to make a few quick bucks off the team (hedging on the team not being totally awake). They claimed that we have no visas and wanted us to pay for them, until somebody spotted that our visas are multiple-entry and are therefore valid...

The team then boarded the bus to Nairobi, but four hours into the journey something in the rear axle broke, shredding the inner tyre. Smoking parts were taken out of the axle assembly, and they were unable to repair it due to parts requirements.



While the bus was stranded for five hours, some of the team decided to have a rooftop rave nearby...

Eventually the next bus came along and the team scrambled in to it.
