Yeah.. awesome okes, thanks for the comments.
I think the lekker thing about these ride reports is it shows that anyone can do this kind of trip.. all you need is a bag of goods strapped to your bike, about R25k, 2 months and the will to go with the flow africa time.
This trip came at a time in my life ( probably a mid life crisis.. who knows) when I really just needed to get away and reflect on what was going on on my life, we get so consumed with small issues, stupid problems, money, time, family, work.. the stress gets a bit much sometimes.. when you go on a trip like this you understand how lucky we are to have what we have and reminds us not to take it for granted.
If you have every wanted to go see Africa.. there is no time like now. The world won't stop when you leave, and it will be better off when you get back, thinner, more tanned and with an appreciation for life you never knew existed.
