Travelling, Termites and Torment

Those three words pretty much sum up the first day. 24 Hours of non stop travelling is taking its toll on us now, giving Mr Cocker plenty of chances to take photos of us sleeping and then to torment us with them! Let the games begin!

The flight was bearable, however with only 3 hours sleep I was not happy...until breakfast was served at 4am!

The minibus ride is not that of a comfortable one, but we are all just intrigued by the different environments we are travelling through as it is such an eye opening experience. Plus I have never seen such bug termite mounds! 

Our midway stop could not have been more welcomed though! The chance to stretch and eat was jumped upon, and oh were the chips amazing! To add the cherry on top they had Nando's sauce!!!

The last part of the journey has been less comfortable: sweltering sun, bumpy roads and sheer tiredness are eating away at me...but no bugs yet :)

Can't wait to see what the rest of the trip bares.
