My final observations
... house as we were at a dead end.
The roads are busy, its every man for himself as they compete for the same piece of road. You would have passed your driving test years ago here Patrick, there is a distinct lack of indicating, maintaining one's place in the lane and overtaking is like a national sport. Police abound, on motorbikes and in cars. There is the odd tank or two along the roads with a machine gun on top. They are strangely reassuring. I had contacted Ant prior ...

... coming down the hill. Behind it was a gray pickup truck, the black civilian 4X4, and then a big yellow fire engine. Oh good, I thought, maybe they will use this fire truck to shove my car down the hill. But then the fire truck appeared to get stuck in the sand, is it stopped maybe 70 yards from my position. You’re not serious.
I lost track of the fire engine as the police officers came up to me and asked me some questions – “What is your name. Where are ...
