Two planes went up to Nasir, South Sudan. One with all the team members and the other one with the supplies. Part of the supplies was a motorbike and a wee dog....I wonder what he thinks of it all :)
There are no places to buy supplies up in Nasir so everything had to be carefully planned. These supplies will, hopefully, keep them going until Christmas when they will come out for a break.
Now the fun begins...all the unloading. All these supplies were loaded onto the back of a donkey cart. (You can see that in one of the photos below) I think it took 4 trips to get all the stuff to the compound. Walking one way takes 45 minutes. It was quite the operation.
This strip is notorious for being a hazard when wet. Thankfully the rains let off enough so there was a period of dry weather. It is not often you see green grass either. :)
The white patch on this part of the airstrip is crushed concrete. I guess someone thought it was a good idea to fill the holes and ruts with their left over concrete. :) Not ideal but could be worse!
