The border experience Malawi to Mozambique went without a hitch. Once again it was only the money changers and the car guards that created some unpleasantness.
The road towards Tete went from good to very bad. There was also a lot of diesel theft evident, from the ever present hanging orange drums, indicating prospective buyers, to parked trucks with the diesel openly being siphoned from the tanks.
The last section of the road into Tete is absolute chaos. Hence the lack of photos. There is plenty of construction happening and the road itself is under construction with a lot of detours. The amount of traffic is scary with no apparent regard for the law or right of way. has the biggest balls or the least brains, just goes hell for leather. I had to stay alert in order not to become a casualty.
At the toll gate at the bridge into Tete, there was a long queue, so I did some passing on the right, hoping I would not irk some polce officer. At the front of the queue, one driver of a Landie, said that I can pass through on the left, which I proceeded to do, along a narrow concreted path until I was abruptly stopped by one of the toll officials. I thought I was in trouble, because of his attitude and my discovery that this was a pedestrian and cycle path. He called the guy who was obviously in charge, but he was so busy collecting cash from the vehicles, without receipts, that he just gave me a stern look, waved his arm and said, "Go". So I went.
