Trans-Africa 2010/11

In 2008 Andri Bruehwiler, Francisca Jah and I decided to go back to where we met, to Africa. We would buy a 12 tonner Saurer 2DM and drive it as far as we could in 2 months. A useless manager in Pemba Island (where we worked) meant that Francisca had to go back to Tanzania after a week and run the Hotel. So Andri and I drove alone through Syria, Jordan, Egypt, the Sudan and Ethiopia. We were supposed to stop there, but said "sod it" and carried on to Nairobi. It was an excellent time.
