Our field work was going pretty well, even if we had all kind of possible problems with our car: the rack we used to transport our materials (200kg of steel, plus 200 of chicken wire.. you can imagine!) crashed on the roof of the car; one morning a wheel was flat and the reserve wheel was really looking weird (but it worked..) and on one day we just smelt something strange.. We got out of the car and got a look on the motor... the cooling water was boiling! Apparently, we had three holes in our cool-water-tank (or however this thing is called, maybe cooler?), which a very drunk fundi repaired using superglue, cement and a bag of tea... it seems that the very drunk fundi knew what he did, as no water was licking anymore, but the motor still got very hot! For this reason we had to go to Tanga (where we usually went to buy our food every two weeks) and brought the car to the mechanic.
