Back with a bump: Dominik arrives in Pemba

Dominik is back in Mozambique and without car, water or refrigeration (and the hot season is well underway) ...
  • car alternator broken (despite having been with mechanic for 2 months, they haven't the right screw)
  • water pump totally defunct in Pemba (and no nearby river unlike Mareja)
  • fridge cable chewed through by mice
He left his computer at a friend's house in Nairobi (sadly only himself to blame) and more devastatingly his bags didn't arrive with him in Pemba.  They were stuffed full of wonderful things - such as 10 new rangers uniforms, night lights and the usual mysterious and essential plumbing parts.

So all in all a bad start....not to mention the news that the armed poaching groups are on the Mareja border.
