London to Cape Town. Lots of idiots, two Landrovers, zero mechanical knowledge. What could go wrong?

@HeathrowExpress any danger of warning customers of the inevitable delays when there are eng.works? Not like anyone's got a flight to catch!

[Tom Putnam @RamRodRally]

[Tom Putnam @RamRodRally]

Apologies for the long quiet from T&W but we had some pounding of African roads to do. Consider them now pounded!

[Tom Putnam @RamRodRally]

no time to blog about ystrdy now, but if we remember all the lies, laziness, incompetence, corruption and thievery it should be a good one!

[Tom Putnam @RamRodRally]

finally got the chopper out last night (emotional) so after an early start W&P have hopefully crossed the equator for the 5th and last time

[Tom Putnam @RamRodRally]

We're sitting at the end of the ramp of hms eurocargo...exciting! Painfully slow unloading tho...

[Tom Putnam @RamRodRally]

There seems to be a kind of piste barges coming off#wrongstop

JS: On the tarmac at Kinshasa a/p - 25 min wait for bus. Plane to terminal...it's a 7 second ride. Could walk it in 20s. #AfricanEfficiency

[Tom Putnam @RamRodRally]

cheered up no end however by the excellent news that Jeremy already has the shits, just 14 hours after touchdown in the DRC. A ecord?

[Tom Putnam @RamRodRally]

feeling a little low. Our boat was bumped back this morning following a $10k backhander to a minister. @Africa, will you ever go clean?

[Tom Putnam @RamRodRally]

Imagine if you had to consider your next day's plans and proximity to toilets before choosing to eat out in London! Such is the way here!

[Tom Putnam @RamRodRally]

predictably the car is not sitting there waiting for us to drive it away At 11 they meet to decide which boats dock. Highest bidder much?

[Tom Putnam @RamRodRally]

Almost literally shitting ourselves!

[Tom Putnam @RamRodRally]

In the shipping agency office about 10mins away from hearing the news about whether chopper has landed or not. Almost literally shitting ...
