Ouch!


So. . . it was a routine trip to the airport for an early check-in.  All went well and within 30
minutes we were returning to the very back of the parking lot where we usually park.  (We park there so that other cars do not park too close to us.)

But. . . while we were still far away. . . we could see a grey Mercedes resting in a very suspicious way, right behind our truck, and blocking the passage. (Right in front of our truck was a wall.)

What we learned from the parking attendants is that the Mercedes rolled across two rows of parking spaces and stopped after hitting the back of our truck.

Fast forward 3 hours of waiting in temperatures of 100+ and brilliant sunshine until, finally, the owner of the car returned and the police arrived. 

Our bumper is only slightly dented, but the Mercedes did not fare so well.  After exchanging contact information, we shock hands, he moved his car, and we were on our way home!

Only in Africa!
