Passing Thru Luanda, Angola
There will be blogs and articles from both Congos and Angola in probably ten days. Since we left Kinshasa we have not had electricity or roads that are flat and even enough to allow for back seat writing. We have also been waking at 630am and driving until 700pm. That puts us asleep by 9pm after cooking and cleaning. It is an exhausting routine, but necessary if we are to cover Angola in the limited time offered by our (second) transit visa. If, by some fluke, the roads or internet options improve ahead of schedule, the delay should be less significant and we can shed some light on the more threatening Central African cities and the shelled out, tsetse fly infested occasional mine fields of Angola.
Thanks for your patience and support.

I hope, at least, that the tsetse-fly infested mine fields have bars where you are served warm beer by gracious ex-combatants, who show you where to step.
