A little over weight, but quick as ever.

Well it happened even quicker than we expected, Uli phoned yesterday to say its impossible to upload to the blog using a Mozambique sim. Its so slooooooowwww. So he asked me to update you on their behalf.

Uli & Anka arrived from L'Agulhas to spend the evening with us in KZN on Thursday. Early the next day they were off to Sodwana Bay, but on route Uli decided to stop at the weigh bridge, and was he in for a shock. Unladen a Land Cruiser weighs 2400kg with a maximum weight when loaded of 2900kg. Well Konstantin weighs a wee bit more.........4100kg. Undeterred they headed for Moz and are now in Gorongosa National Park, let me tell you K may be overweight, but she sure is quick. Uli told us the roads have been reasonable but the prawns are great. If you know Uli thats exactly what he loves, good food and bad roads. Today they head for Mt Gorongosa so lets hold thumbs that they get to see the Green- headed Oriole which has a very limited range and therefore a big tick.
