Driving through Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, I've started to get a sense of the vastness and varied beauty of this mighty continent. Watching the road reach out ahead, I found myself wanting to run towards each receding horizon.
Chris had a simple (so obvious!) solution, which didn't actually involve throwing me off the truck and driving away. Set off early in the morning, then walk till the truck catches up. So today I did that. And at the lunch stop I did it again. With an idiot grin on my face each step of the way.
