Hi,
Fir those of you that might be interested, I have started a blog on my first solo bike tour, through parts of South Africa that I have not visited before as well as Lesotho.
Quick stats:
Ok
The trip started (one week late) and in a totally different direction.
Ek weet nie hoe lank die trip gaan wees (Week of twee ??)
If the first two days was anything to go by this will be an AWSOME trip. I had to do gates, all types of roads and surfaces and almost turned around as it looked like a dead end - but wasint.
2011 October -- Our Great African Eastern Cape Adventure in the Drakensberg Mountains.
What makes a "good" dual sport adventure "GREAT"?
And why is it always about the group of people with their individual characters and group dynamics that always seem to make these rides so.........."lakka"?
DAY 1: 300kms
Riding out of the train station into Lagos came as a bit of a shock.
How the hell did I end up in Nigeria?
Did a miss the border? Or a few stops? I know the train was a few hours late, but surely not so late to deposit me in this filthy city?
No… wait… This aint Lagos, I recognize a few of the tired-looking grubby buildings…. This is downtown Johannesburg, looking a lot worse for wear than I remember.
