Rubbing backs
You crossed the border into DRC with papers intact...and no mention of rifles to encourage your greasing of palms to get you through. Time to listen to some Staff Bemba Bilini to celebrate.

Tricky Mud
As you say it had to happen. Good friends show restraint! A few jokes are likely to come your way. Love the stories you hear along the road when you come across other travelers who want to talk. Really enjoying your trip.

Awesome Pictures
Hello, I was just browsing when i run into your blog. You have some good pictures here. I myself am form Ethiopia. I have never been out side Addis Ababa, but looking at the pictures makes me realize how much i'm missing out. I'm currently living in the US. I would definitely go back to see this marvelous nature work and culture. When did you take this pictures, by the way? Nate

I've wanted to visit Libya for a while, and your blog has just increased my desire further. How easy is it to obtain a visa nowadays?

Get in touch with Sem or Masoud at: http://tidwa.com/ Costs about 300 Euro + a bit more at your local Libyan embassy. Do it!

Riding vicariously with you all the way
darling Mat---have just read your incredible blog!! What a blast!!! Will be hanging on for each entry. Spoke with Mum 3 days ago and she, like me, will not be able to stop worrying till you get to NZ!!! She sounded good and no pain which is great. We are all doing well here and enjoying the longer nights and warmer days. Have been baking today for little Willow's 2nd Birthday tomorrow. Will be themed all around wild animals from Africa so I have made lots of animal biscuits!! Wonderful to know we will see you here in NZ after this wild ride is over!! Kia Kaha , Arohanui Dearest Mat-----good on you for going and doing it!! Silver Fox Jen xxxxx If you are able to log in next Sat 7 til 8 30pm on 12th NZ time to www.ssws.co.nz you will see me give away a dear friend at his wedding blessing. He and partner Jono are iconic well known entertainers in their spare time under the names of Buffy and Bimbo( find them online) It will be an outrageous gathering and you will see your Aunty like you have never seen me before!!!! Al also in bridal party. xxx Have seen lots of Dad lately. He is working away at getting sold up in Thames---a journey for him of many challenges!!! We all saw "Kiss The Fish" recently and absolutely loved it! Last sat lara and I went to Dave and Becs for baby shower and had a very happy time. Becs looks extremely well.Life busy and far more predictable than what you are going through ---you are wonderful and brave .and we love you heaps xxxxxx love and hugs from us all xxxxxxx

half your luck
Keep up the blog Mat. Makes a whole lot more sense than the facebook posts which are understandably short. We are green with envy. Wish we were riding along. Looks spectacular.

Flathead worm

hi, I found 1 yesterday after mowing the lawn wrapped around my little dog leg, never seen or heard about anything like it, very sticky, like a slug, it was about 10 cm long, at first I thought it was a dog's parasite.Wollongong's area, 80 km south of Sydney, Australia
