All Nations Mozambique

We left early yesterday morning to visit Paolo’s dad. We loaded a friend from Cape Town’s truck and started our journey. We had to cross via a ferry to Catembe and this were a small adventure of it’s own. The road to Bela Vista is a dirt track, but rain caused it to be very muddy. We drove as fast as we could, but the condition of the road got worse. Eventually it became very difficult to control the truck, it were sliding all over the road. The mud became deeper, the truck by now covered in mud. Zirk our friend then lost all control of the truck and we started skidding side ways across the road. We continued skidding until we finally left the road ending up in a ditch. It took us a while to get out of the ditch and to continue the travel. Two miles further we had to make the tough decision to turn around. Even the simplest of tasks become almost impossible here in Mozambique. It was hard to turn around, because we were so excited to meet the family and spend some time with them. We hope to return soon, as the sun dries out the mud and the condition of the road improves.
