Wing mirror clipped by Donkey Cart
Father Sem Diboyani was driving us at speed along the dirt road. Heavy rain had made the surface quite slippery and we were approaching a stretch of road where deep muddy ruts meant there we were restricted to one part of the road. I could see a donkey cart approaching us being pulled by three donkeys at quite a fast speed. As it came closer I was waiting for Father Sem to slow down and allow the donkey cart to keep to the terra firma but he had other ideas. As the donkey cart passed us I heard a loud knock as the wing mirror was struck by the cart. Father Sem stopped and inspected the damage, muttering some words in the direction of the two men on the cart who showed no sign of stopping themselves. In the end we did manage to retrieve the mirror which had fallen into the mud and was still in one piece. It could have made an interesting insurance claim.
