Thursday 24th June

Down hill start...passed watering holes and saw some sort of vultures,...this road is like a white knuckle ride but it lasts for hours, there is dust and dust!!! We see herds of animals in the distance -- this is how I had imagined Africa to look, the sand is sucked up into big twisters some can completely engulf the car---we stop at town to fill up with water and buy bread, they are very friendly, Lee is given a bottle full of millk and told to leave it in the sun for two days--this is the famous fermented mares milk that we thought was only in Mongolia!!! It's hot 46 degrees in shade....9.15 pm now 30 degrees---hoping to get a starter motor tomorrow, fed up of pitching up on a hill, tonights is very steep, hope we don't slide out of bed!!!!
