    I will leave some books with Chris at Hamman Motorrad (Tyger Valley) after I leave there tomorrow at 1pm in the event that it will be convenient to stop there through the week. In fact I will be leaving Hamman at 12:45pm to run to the airport so if you are planning to stop by tomorrow, please...

    A hearty thank you to GEEJAY who has agreed to dish out books on that side. Sorry my visit couldn't be longer. Also, to the PE guys, that ride is not happening so I can either drop one in the mail to you, or if you ask Michnus nicely he could mule some back from Cape Town to your part of the...

    I will not know until Wednesday if I am flying back to CT or driving back. Stay tuned and we can make a plan. If i do ride, then yes, it is possible to stop somewhere in PE to drop off books. Happy to help as I can.

    Would never forget about you! If you cannot make it to Hamman Motorrad on Saturday, and if you are not in JNB to grab a book from GEEJAY, let me know how best to get the book to you. Cheers, Rene

    There is a growing chance that I will be flying into JHB tomorrow (Wednesday) and taking the train to Pretoria to go and try to sort out some immigration things with the Canadian embassy in Pretoria. They are open from 9-noon, so I will try to be there for then. Then I would likely fly to East...

    As long as you get onto this forum and put a "+1" or "me too" or something to that effect, I will bring a book over for you. Upon arrival, I will PM and start figuring out how to get the books from my luggage to yours. Signing them is not a problem.

    The book price for the Wild Dog group will be R250. That is a bit cheaper than the website, and I for those who have already bought the book (Laban) I would like your paypal info to send you back the difference.  I will bring the books to SA so there are no shipping costs. The Wild Dog...

    Yo Chappies- howzit! Mic - thanks for getting the word out about the book. I am happy to report that I was just in New York City to receive a award for the book, which won Bronze medal in the category of Travel Essay in the 2010 Independent Publisher Book Awards. I'll post some pics soon...

    LS is right, it is fairly straightforward, but pricey. The tourist visa can be for a single or double entry (you will need double if you are going to visit Mongolia). Multiple entry visas (3+) were only available to previous visa holders, i.e. not for first time visiters to Russia. The letter of...
