On a trip like this you expect things to break, and we all carry bodging stuff for little mends on route, bigger stuff requires towns and city infrastructure.<\/div>\n
However, when our portable toilet broke, I decided that there was zero chance of fixing it and we would manually add fragrance fluid periodically because the chance of finding Thetford spares in Uganda would be  nil.<\/div>\n
But…<\/div>\n
On the amazing haven campsite beside the Nile we met a Dutch couple, we happened to mention the disaster and he jumped up and rummaged in his van and… He had spare part we needed!!!<\/div>\n
On their way across Europe theirs broke and it was cheaper to buy a new toilet than get the spare seal they needed.<\/div>\n
He couldn’t just throw all the old one away, so he stripped the usable parts just in case.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sometimes travelling bring the most unexpected surprises.<\/div>\n
