Mosquito Nights

I just rode 124.8 kilometers! Check it out on #strava: http://app.strava.com/activities/42665355 .Woke up to eggs and baked beans for breakfast at Hotel Gwanda after being eaten my the mozzies on a hot and muggy night had to open the windows to get some air flow luckily there was a mosquito net , I filled a bottle of water and was pouring it in myself during the night to get the water to take some heat off me - it was all I had and it helped so sweetas bro .I was going to get some money out of the atms but none of them were working and the cue at all of the banks was unreal , luckily I remembered I had a few US dollars stashed but they had fallen down into my frame  - we used half a pool cue a bit of electrical tape and a bent bit of wire to get the bills out - all gone  .Then I found out I only had 124km to Bulawayo instead of 170km which I thought - sweetas pressure was off. Stopped at this village called Wbalabala and this girl called Marvellous came running upyo me eith some cold soft drinks -great service I thought and when a bus ir taxi arrived her and all the others sitting under the tree ran up to the bus or taxi snd sold drinks or corn through the window's- first in first served ! The photo if a guy working in a wheel from a bike - that was his workshop! He makes US 10 dollars a day - Beautiful people here in Zimbabwe The are very kind and loving and honest!

  1. Hey there. Moral of the story - did you get your US dollars out or not?? What are your plans for today?? I think you just attract the right people!! You have that kind of heart and lets not forget FACE!! You are really covering great distances - well done. Dont worry toooooo much about the mozzies - only worry when they look like they are going to carry you away!!xx
