Unbelievable. Just amazing.

The rest of the WD's will be in delighted to find this RR here when they get back to work and onto there PC's on Monday. And MJ is just blasting though it this time. He can't hold back. Must have been and amazing experience.

Did you guys towed the bikes into Livingstone and if so were did you leave the bakkie and trailer and in that wet terrain what precautions did you take against malaria?

Please don't let me hold you back from posting.

Please continue....

Legendary RR as usual....

Seems the only places you get freindliness and good attitude from the locals is across the border....Fantastic when those people gave you guys mielies....they have so little.....yet so much.

Now that you mention,that actually brought a tear to my eyes,that was probably a whole days food for their entire family---it makes you think of how we value certain thing in life .That is why I just love those remote areas,so much to get inspiration from.

Yes,I thought I'd do half now and try to get the other half out by Tuesday.

We had the bikes taken to Kasane where we were based and flew in. The idea was that myself and my wife would ride back from Kasane but the X's issues prevented us. So the bikes are still standing at Chobe Safari Lodge in Kasane.

We used Doxycycline for the mozzies. There were less mozzies than we expected. It was not really a hassle at all.

It's harder doing the report.
