For a reason that will forever remain uncertain (but yet fiercely contested), we managed to lose our tent poles somewhere in northern Ethiopia. Since then, we have been without our trusty and ever-dependable Kathmandu tent; a situation which was going to make our onward journey down Africa somewhat trickier.

However, thanks to the thoroughly good folks at Kathmandu in Australia, a replacement set was couriered to us in Nairobi as part of a very well-timed Christmas gift, and so we once again have a shelter.

Thank you Kathmandu, for a level of customer service that we didn’t know even existed.
