Highway

Wide and long roads

Still long roads

Advertisment. Africa uses alot of such cables for electricity..even after 7 hours I still see the extended line of cables!
![Photobucket](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y54/ckloh/IMG_0019.jpg)
single-storey houses..no more highrise buildings.
![Photobucket](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y54/ckloh/IMG_0021.jpg)
the houses seems to face everywhere! very confusing. might just lose your way on your way back.

God was trying to tell us something. Rain is really coming - seek shelter.
![Photobucket](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y54/ckloh/IMG_0189.jpg)
Rain came. It was hell. Lotsa of chill wind further brought the temperature down. and finally..it rained hail stones! I swear I got hit by it on my way to brush my teeth!
![Photobucket](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y54/ckloh/IMG_0200.jpg)
I haven't mention much about the animals. This dude is one of them. He will make your balls shrink.
![Photobucket](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y54/ckloh/PICT0005.jpg)
Talking bout wildlife. On my way there..through the cities and rural areas. I've seen herds of cows, goats, sheep, horses, donkeys and even ostriches! my gawd. A fun fact for you: you can actually distinguish cows just by looking at their noses!
![Photobucket](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y54/ckloh/IMG_0204.jpg)
