Journey: 

African Culture And Traditions

Personal highlights

  1. Mistake: not excessively testing the car before buying
  2. Surprise: more and more problems occur during repair
  3. Grounded: after some issues, the engine has to be replaced
  4. Finale: leaving Nairobi with some delay, ready for NyegeNeyege!
  5. Aftermath: more problems on the road will be expected...
