Great story, I'm particularly touched about how you positively described your experience of Africa which is a very welcome deviation from the single story of misery other visitors prefer to paint. I appreciate your honesty and transparence. This part really proves my point.
"Can you move forward your beautiful truck a meter please, so that I can cross this ditch and gain another 50 m to the border?" Patience and good humor, some exclamations and lots of laughter: this is Africa.
Thanks for sharing.
