Nearly home Saturday morning I woke up to mixed feelings, as it was our last day of this epic journey, yes I wanted to go home, but I was also sad because the trip was coming to an end and I would not be able to ride bike every day. At least there was Long Tom pass to look forward to, to start...

Thank guys for taking the time to read my RR, I am pleased you are enjoying it. When doing a RR, and this been my first one, it is very difficult  to pick the photos out of the hundreds we took. Also to pick out the  hi lights and lo lights is no easy task, so I wrote this without giving it to...

Next morning the sun was shining when we left for Hoedspruit, in my rush to get to the mountain passes we got stopped in a speed trap. This is the reaction we got after telling her how fast we rode the B-King. She was kind enough to let us go without a fine, so we proceeded with caution...

Next morning we went through Gabarone city to the border at Martins Drift. We stayed in the only lodge on the Botswana side in a Safari tent, and ate in the restaurant. I spent all the Pula I had at the lodge so that I did not have the hassle of exchanging Pula for rand back in South Africa...

I finished the RR, but forgot to change the log in time, so I was timed out before I could post. Will try again in the week.

Then we went to Gabarone on Route 66. Where we had greasy chicken for breakfast. At least we knew what we were eating. Rose, the petrol joggie, was very intrigued with us, especially with Wilna’s boots. In Gabarone we camped at a picnic spot inside the lapa. There were toilets but no...

Tent is a Kiwi 4 made by Camp Gear, it is 3.3m X 2.4m X 1.7m high and weighs 4.4kg. Did not leak a drop, works really well, I need a high tent that I don't have to crawl in and out because of my size, also been a 4 man tent there is enough space for 2 people plus gear. I see you are from the...

After a massive farm breakfast we left for Mariental, Petru gave us some mince and a packet of pasta because been a public holiday she said we won’t get food in Mariental. Must say I was a bit nervous of the gravel roads due to fact that it had rained so hard the previous night. We stopped at...
