Whoop whoop time for an update. Sit down and get comfy because its a long one. We are back from our visit to friends and family in Joberg. For those that dont know, my scooter broke down on the hi way outside of JBay. We had friends in Uitenhage who collected us and all our stuff and stored it whilst we caught the bus to Joberg and back. Yesterday these same magnificent friends loaded up our same junk and drove us the 388kms back to Mossel Bay. They still had to drive home again. We will forever be thankful to Stephanie and Vaughn Marshall - very special peeps. Right now we are ensconced at mike and Margos beach front holiday home in Mossel while we sort out stuff and pack up bikes and trailers because TOMORROW we hit the road. Because we are fat and unfit they are loading our stuff on their trailer and are transporting us to the top of Robinsons Pass, about 50kms away so that we dont have to start the day huffing, puffing and swearing at each other. Suppose now would be a good time to tell you where we are going. If the crazy jihadist ISIS group havent started to slaughter all infidels in North Africa, we will cycle Cape to Cairo, catch the ferry from Alexandria to Turkey and cycle Georgia and Armenia. If not being a Muslim is detrimental to our health we will cycle Cape to Killi and back home again. We have toured certain areas extensively already so we have chosen a completely different route for us. We will cut out the Western Cape by going directly through the Groot Karoo via Frazerberg and Calvinia and Louriesfontein to Springbok and go down to the coast to Honderklipbaai, Kleinsee, Port Nolloth, Alexander Bay and through the Richtersvlei. In Namibia we will be taking the dirt roads to Walvis and Swakop and up the skeleton coast, turn right and go down the Caprivi Strip. Then its up via Zambia, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt. We are both towing trailers this time and we dont plan on rushing. There isnt a time limit and it isnt a race. Tomorrow it is then :-) :-) :-) :-) Adventure time whoop whooo.
