Ok-still working on the foto's,but that might take a while,so here goes in the meantime. The whole story started around a fire [like many good idea's]. We were both gatvol of the boring rat race and was in need of some serious adventure. Roadkill has played with the idea of an African trip for a long time and I wanted to go sail the world. A few more brandy's later and I was convinced a trip through Africa was exactly the adventure needed , but there was a problem....I think Roadkill's exact words were 'You don't even have a bike!' Small obstacle,but a necessary item. To be honest I have never owned a bike nor do I have a license! I was never a big BMW fan so for me it boiled down to a KLR or KTM . 2 months later I asked my companion to come have a look at my new baby....2007/640 adventure with only 8000km on the clock and all the extras! Man I was excited! And so the planning could begin. We gave ourselves 1 year to prep and get ready with neither of us having done anything like this. The original plan was to do it over 6 months,but even after threatening to quite our jobs we could only manage 2 months and still retain a job.
At first it seamed very simple - pack a tent,fill the tank and off you go! Man was I wrong...I soon realized it would take allot more planning and paperwork than just that,but with the both of us as exited as a school boy at a sokkie we soon had a list of things to do and would get together once a month and discuss progress.
