more sand

I must have fallen over 4 times. And when I was going forward i had to use my legs to help the bike along and keep me upright. I was completely out of my depth. When I had burnt all my energy I asked Mike to take over while slumped into the seat next to Mieke. My clothes were soaked with sweat. My mates soldiered on while I enjoyed the aircon and the carrots and hard-boiled eggs Mieke had packed. I must have had 5 eggs that day while the others matched or bettered this.
At long last we reached the small ferry port of Catembe.
