ciao langano

at lunch

On the final morning of the lake Langano we woke to a wet morning, it had been steadily raining all night (we were wondering about the how flooded the road out would be).

We had a nice beakfast, packed up settled our hefty bill and took off.  We forded one massive mud puddle and thought that was the biggest until we came to the next one that had literally become a pond by that point (we were all a little freaked out, the Suzuki Vitara had virtually the ground clearance of a Toyota Corolla).  I had the vehicle in 4wheel low and the traction control on, we wound up and charged water with the windsheld wipers on and all the windows up.  We were moving pretty well, fishtailing a little and then all of a sudden we started to bog down and almost completely stopped, by some miracle of Japanese ingenuity we keep moving and made it out, I was totally astounded and relieved.  Next time we’ll take a Toyota Land Cruiser or something.
