Day 8: Inhambane - Inhassoro

Everyone was very pleased with the 6 am wake up and we finally made our way after a good, hearty breakfast. The sandy strip out from Casa Barry proved yet again a little challenging for Grant, who once again decided to play in the sand pit. It was a short ride to Maxixe, on surprisingly well maintained tarred roads. After refuelling it was then onto Dere and then finally just past Vilanculos to the town of Inhassoro where we have planned to stay tonight. Today was our shortest day of the trip so far and came as a blessing as tomorrow we are faced with one of the toughest days of the trip, in which we plan to drive 805km’s on really rough roads to the town of Tete. Hopefully we will manage to get a good supper and an early nights sleep!

It really looks like you are making great progress despite your 'playtime' in the sand!! Main thing of course seems like you are . .more having fun - how are the "bums" - not too bruised?? Be safe and be happy!! Hugs to you all. Marilyn . .less by Marilyn on June 01 2009, 21:37 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it

Playing in the sandpit! Listen Boyz, apart from Dad, both of you spent many hours in a beautiful sandpit you had when you were little! You obviously enjoyed it then and you are obviously really enjoying now. The only time I can recall your Dad enjoyed playing in the sand, . .more was when he built you beautiful cars in the sand at Kob Inn! Please drive safely for the rest of the journey. Lots of love.

Too much fun Guys, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to focus on my work after reading about your adventures every morning. I can't tell you how awesome it looks - you're obviously having far too much fun! Grant, you should try jogging a few kilometers when . .more you get off your bike each evening so you can shed some of those kilo's caused by easy American living - I'm sure that will solve your overheating problem? Craig, how's the hairstyle? Good luck for the long ride to Tete! . .less by Kean on June 02 2009, 07:59 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it

Well done so far! A few offs in sand is just the right way to really get into it ("getting dirty" without much hurt). Seems all are having fun. Keep the posts and piccies coming, and good luck with the 805km. Numb nuts! by Andre vdM on June 02 2009, 14:22 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it

Pot holes! I told you guys to look out for the pot holes - and I believe they are so big you can't miss (seeing) them, so Grant what's going on?!! Hope you have recovered and your wheel is still round - they work better that way!! Looks as though you guys . .more are having a great time - enjoy . .less by Bruce on June 02 2009, 16:13 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it

Frolicking in the sand Grant, getting in touch with the earth is not the same as swimming in it . I'm sorry, I couldn't resist any longer :-) by John on June 04 2009, 15:09 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it
