Next is a six hour car journey through the bush in the intense heat to visit some of the producer groups.
The car hire company gave me a Mercedes Benz. Hmmmm, I took one look at it and asked politely if they had anything smaller. Don't know why(!) but something tells me a Benz is not the right type of car for the bush...
Anyway, apparently I'm going to come across a whole range of random animals en route today so I'm focusing on that - should be quite an interesting journey!
As soon as I arrive I have to get ready for the fair trade awareness training tomorrow.
This has to be a quick note as time is ticking and I have to set off. I'll write again soon - depending on Internet connection. You may have noticed the toll the power cuts take on the timeliness of my blogs but I guess it all adds to the flavour!
