Well I'm bushed ... tired and sore head. Gotta go pack and hit the sack ... aagghh ... and 160km tomorrow.

We had a good dinner at the Deputy German Ambassador yesterday ... really nice to hear some other news, information and ideas about a country on the trip. Good German food is also always welcome!!

Tausend Dank fuer die Einladung.

Today's trip out to Markus' sponsored child and the school/community development programmes was also real interesting. We were treated like semi-royalty and really enjoyed the dancing, food and children. It is an eye-opener to see first hand how little so many people really have. And nearly comical to listen to the over-zealous politicians hijacking the proceedings to contribute their little bit of propaganda ... ;-)

For now - good night ... I gotta rush and really need a good night's sleep.

Cheers
