Each day we started by 5:30 am for the cooler temperatures and to make sure we did not have to travel in the dark. Our main objective for the trip was to get our co-worker&#8217;s Land Cruiser to South Africa for maintenance and repairs without ADDING anything to the list. Since it was our first major road trip in Mocambique we were glad to be joined with our co-workers Fernando &amp; Tabitha who went along to visit family in RSA. It was a great opportunity to get to see the southern part of the country. Except for several stretches with lots of large pot holes the trip went well. Thought we would share a few photos of our 3 days on the road.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1077\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1077\" style=\"width: 559px\"
