Day 5 - Rest day

Although billed as a rest day, we still had plenty to do. Each rider was responsible for servicing his own bike, ensuring that the oil was changed, the air filter removed, washed and re-oiled and the chain oiled. The Princes were queueing with everyone else and getting their hands dirty. In fact I think they really enjoyed it.
The remainder of the morning was spent helping one of the supported charities, Touch Africa. We rode into the local village where a very basic creche has been setup. The riders (and Princes) all mucked in to redecorate the inside of the hall, repair some chairs and build some swings for the children.
In the afternoon, the riders played a football match against the local team and lost 6 - 2. An enjoyable day despite no riding and nice to be able to do some work during the trip.
