The Truck

I know some of you have been curious about this monstrous truck where we've been spending so much of our time over the last week and a half. Well be curious no more! We travel in a massive truck outfitted with 2 sets of seats in the front with a table between them and 5 rows of seats behind that, for a total of 24 seats. So pretty roomy with only 9 passengers in the back!

Where I kick butt in Phase 10 :)

Home Sweet Home

The back wall of the truck is comprised of 25 lockers to put all of our bags (again, now that we're down to only 9 of us, there's a TON of space for all our stuff, food, etc. in the back).

There's also a shelf that runs along the top of the bus for storage, although it's prone to flood when it rains, so we've taken to putting less and less up there...

We have 4 huge windows on either side that help to keep us cool when we're on the move, each which has two smaller windows on the top of it which also open and close.

When it's time for lunch/dinner, the sides of the outside of the truck fold out so that Mark can (miraculously) cook our gourmet meals on a travel 3 burner stove and travel gas container. The side of the truck also has plenty of storage space for our food, a storage location in the back of it for two metal tables which we take out at every meal, and the other side has a storage location for folding chairs.

There's also a water spigot underneath the truck where we get our water for cooking. Pretty crazy.

Basically we're traversing Africa in a Transformers truck. Certainly an interesting way to travel!
