Issues

So since we have a day of nothing today we're going to update the blog with several entries. This one is about the stuff i'm getting frustrated about here in Africa:

1. Fuel: It's rubbish! Well at least the kerosene. You can't buy white spirits here but luckily my cooker runs on kerosene and unleaded fuel. Kerosene is sold everywhere and is used by everyone for cooking (when they're not braai'ing (BBQ'ing)). I don't know how the locals manage to cook with this rubbish though. What would take us 5 minutes for boiling water at home takes me 45 minutes after fighting with the cooker. A dutch couple are having more success with petrol so will give that a try next.
2. Mosquitoes: No matter how hard you try and keep them away they still get you. 
3. Roads: Actually they're very good but there is one in particular that was rubbish and as this is a complaining post I better pad this post out with complaints. The road running between Kasane and Nata in Botswana is the worst tarred road in the world. It would be better to rip it up and leave it untarred given that the road is one big pothole.

Well that's all. We're having an awesome time so next post will be an update.
