Dag 6 / Day 6

Na ‘n stewige ontbyt, en vetkoeke en maalvleis vir padkos, wat tannie “Anna en Christine” vir my gee, val ek in die pad en arriveer so omstreeks half drie by Nunda Lodge, by die “Popa” valle. Wat ‘n pragtige plek. Sal eendag meer tyd hier wil spandeer, maar die lang pad roep en Kairo is nog ver.

Die dag eindig nie op n goeie noot nie met die Bgan satelietmodem wat nie wil werk nie. Les no.1, moet nie aanneem eerste wereld tegnologie gaan altyd in Afrika werk nie. Gelukkig is die ondersteuningsspan besig om dit uittesorteer en behoort ons binnekort weer opspoed te wees.

Day 6: 20 Aug 09 / 22h30
After a huge breakfast with vetkoek and mince as provisions from Aunt “Anna & Christine”, I left for the next stretch and arrived safely at “Nunda Lodge” at Popa Falls. What a beautiful place. I am definitely planning to visit here again and would have loved to stay longer. But the long road to Cairo awaits.This day does not end on a good note, cannot get the Bgan Sat modem to work. Lesson no.1, do not .... that first world technology is always going to work smoothly in Africa. Luckily the support team is busy resolving the problem and it will be all systems go.ps. Thank you to Adiel / Stephen from “EvoSat” for the late night assistance. Also a thank you to “Anthony” from “Coppernet - Lusaka” for his willingness to take acceptance of the new BGan for handover to George.
