Tricky Driving in the Rain

ak. It was another busy day at the hospital. As usual, Thursday is neonatal day, which means the waiting room is spilling over with mothers and newborns by early morning. When all the neonatals had been processed, several other patients remained, so the medical staff was on the go without a significant break until early evening. By then, the rain had begun to fall, which makes it very difficult to traverse the lower part of the road leading to Kasambara. Thanks to a proper all-terrain vehicle (Land Rover), a skilled Swiss driver (Ruth Schäfer), and a charming Canadian navigator (Alex Keller), we made it down in one piece!
