If Kingsley is doing his trip to hand out mossie nets, then we should have a ‘reason’ to do our journey. What better one than adding to our Zambian Shoebill, by trying to see the Shoebill in all three places it occurs on earth and so the king Balaeniceps rexbecame our ‘reason’ and therefore commands centre spot on our decal. If artwork is required my Mom gets called and in no time at all the basis of our decal is on paper. Naturally, Manuel gets roped in for the next step and soon we have a pro set of stickers for both cars. Uli managed to turn the first set into what he described asCasper the pocked marked Shoebill, his second attempt was successful.
Speaking of cars, it is tradition in the over landing fraternity to name your steed. U & A have long driven Konstantin, but we have battled to find an appropriate name for our white Cruiser. We have toyed with Valemkaque which means ‘fills the road’ in Xhosa, then Toyendi which apparently is Swahili for ‘Lets go’, but maybe we should christen her (or is it him?) Rwemad which as the English speakers amongst us know, means ‘are we mad’ Give it some thought and let us know.
By the way if you think we are only out to see the Shoebill then U R Mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
