So what does this piece of teak look like… An “air guitar” ?… Nope… It’s a work top in the making. 😀 I LOVE IT… African wood for an African odyssey.

Slowly, slowly Nyati’s coming to life. Here’s the multi function GUI car AV entertainment system which combines a DVD player, radio, blue tooth communication, virtual CDC, GPS navigation (including “tracks for Africa”) external analogue /digital TV, externally plugged ipod player & audio power amplifier together, forward looking camera, it adopts dedicated, slot loading DVD chips which can play DVD, VCD,MP3, WMA, MPEG4, JPEG, it also adopts high-sensitivity FM & AM digital tuner with a 6.2″ extra-clear adjustable digital TFT LCD with reverse radar, reverse camera disc changer,NAV, AV & other interfaces for auxiliary functions. 😮 😮 :-o… I know all this because I copied it from the handbook, God only knows what any of it means. As long as the thing picks up East coast radio, plays a DVD or two & gets me to the nearest water hole, I’ll be happy.

What great progress !!! Nyati can now receive DSTV. 😉

FINALLY… The cup holders runneth over thanks to Adam & Hania.

We were thrilled to find some Women making grass mats in Sodwana Bay, & after a long, period of intensive & sometimes loud haggling, we bought this bundle of rope… It’s just perfect for the cornice in Nyati.

Cc: At last !!! The first oak wall panel is fitted.

How happy to have found exactly what I want… Rough pieces of oak.

At last, Nyati’s lights are up & working. Sent from my Sony Xperia™ smartphone

It is hard to believe that the old shell of a vehicle that arrived a few years ago, has almost transformed into a mobile home.

Just taken delivery of the Mercedes 911 – now it just needs to be converted to a mobile home.
