Morning all! Quite why I was up at 05:46 is a mystery! Had a jolly good night last night though! Fondue, wine and a couple of pusscats- including a shy tortoiseshell who I managed to speak to briefly!

The soldier asked to step out of our 4x4 and open the back door. He looked inside, then asked me ....

Do you know why you have been stopped?

I said... "security"

He said ... when you approach a road block, you should be doing 30 and you were doing 60. BS I thought.

He then placed his arm around my shoulder and told me...."You are a very old man and you are like my dad"

"You are a very wise man if you carry a first-aid box.

You are a very wise man if you carry 2 hazard triangles.

You are a very wise man if you carry a tow rope.

You are a very wise man if you do exactly what I say....

Donate 1000 KES to the road safety fund, right now in my hand! about £8
(the truck driver in front of me had his licence confiscated).

That was the hit, a bribe. After that I didn't get stopped again and carried on with the drive, but missed the game

Morning Phil, £8 for a bribe Its a completely different world over there isn't it, the grease of corruption keeping the wheels rolling in Africa
