Since Malawi it's getting hotter by every day and now here in Namibia at the end of October it's brutal hot! In Zambia they call it the "Suicide Month". Might be true, without plenty of water you won't make it long. The daily siesta during lunchtime is a big part of the day, lying for hours somewhere in the shade of a tree just reading and drinking. Once I drank seven liters just while resting for five hours. But the hardest point is to carry the water supply of up to 15+ liters. It's a big factor and makes a huge difference to your performance on the bike, especially on soft ground. Still, I like it better hot than cold! Dear Sun, Thank you for shining.
