This was not only FUN but totally frightening at times as the 4-wheeler Pajero slipped and slid rocked and climbed the so called road which was the worst possible road you can imagine and then worse than that. As I looked ahead at what was to come I could not imagine how we would possibly make it but we did though several times we had to walk while the wheel was removed and the axle repaired (TWICE) or the engine needed some assistance. The walking time was wonderful - the nature so very beautiful. In fact the whole journey was beautiful and the11 passengers squashed together like sardines in a can could only laugh at the danger we often felt we were in. The driver did a sterling job and we all became really close friends as we got to know each other _ a special day and one I will never forget. Coconut juice as we crossed a river in a locally crafted ferry boat and carried ashore by a young gallant man
On arrival we were escorted by passengers to a hotel(of sorts) The STAR hotel in BO Town as it was too late to continue our journey. Only when safely accommodated were our new friends content. An early morning arrival of Hawa who came to escort us to the next stage of this journey to Rokel Community. ALL my luggage and me on a motor-bike to the taxi-rank.
