October 7

Tonight, just pitched tent on Indian ocean beach outside Dar es Salaam, the capital. Riding full day through low land heat was tough. 

One of the many beaches outside Dar es Salaam. So not feeling sorry for Jay's hard day's riding if this is where he ends up. Wish I was there now!

Cop pulled me over today with a 'speed radar'. It looked home made; as if from an old biscuit tin! It had a dial stuck on 80mph! I burst out laughing and rode off ... Africa hey!

This is a typical hand held speed gun used by the Cops in Africa - notice no speed dial...

This is typical a car speed dial - guessing that's what the cop had used in his tin box!
