Day 18: Abroad thoughts from home (one for you literary types)

No update from Matt tonight. I've not had any contact from Owen either but I know some people that have and word is that they have spent much of the day negotiating with Kenyan Customs Officials. According the event website their 'vital parts are tied up in red tape' but I thought the issue was with spares that had been couriered. The shocks that have been shipped over to them arrived on Tuesday evening but officials would not release them today as they had to process 'perishables' first. Apparently, trying to bribe them just makes things slower...


However, following some detective work by Jamie, it would appear that they may have sorted something. Pictures on the event website seem to suggest that work has been carried out. Take a look at the picture - meticulous organisation. Surely this must be Matt's doing as Owen can't even put his socks in the wash basket! :)


Oh and Matt, don't think I haven;t noticed you adding photos to my posts!
