Although in bed I still woke up every two hours. Bliss to have the toilet handy and not crawl out of tent, sandals on, dark, hot, mossy's, find a handy bush. Enjoyed chat last night in bar. It's a big group, about 40, and I'm beginning to pick up on group dynamics. Groups within the group. I wander about talking to everyone, I think age and the Belles have given me confidence to do this. Had a great chat with Often, one of the African support team. He is based in Kenya and runs his own Tourist Business but is not busy so joined this tour as support. He told me all about his home family life, self sufficient, trading. He says family look after family, parents look after children, when parents become older they are cared for by the adult children. He likes to talk, says some cyclists don't stop, just power on and are missing so much. I must try and get a photo of him, a lovely dignified man. Yesterday's rain didn't last too long but has made everywhere muddy, red mud.

Sounds like a really sociable evening for you Janice. I imagine the chat would be so interesting. A great break in the middle of your trip. I wish you were sleeping better but at least you have a bed at present. Stay strong. X
