A helping hand, or rather a tractor :-)
The road construction workers did not build much of the new road that day, they were busy dragging and pushing all the trucks through the muddy area. We had a lot of entertainment watching other cars, minibuses and trucks struggling while we were waiting for our turn! I was fascinated by the red soil! To me soil has always been dark brown / black and sand gray / brown. During our long journey I saw soil, clay, gravel and sand in all kinds of colours. Amazing what can occupy ones mind :-)This of course took some time and made our detour due to the missing bridges even longer. Travelling through Africa in the wet season, this is one of the things you must accept.
