Mwendo Cecil Epic Africa Tour Start

Johan de Villiers's picture

On a bright and perfect weather morning at the Cape of Good Hope most South-Western Point we bid farewell and wished a good friend a wonderful trip through Africa. 

Naturally Andy decided that the bike should be parked in front of the sign and did so with impeccable skill, only to fail at the last moment. Forgetting to put out the side stand, the fully loaded bike greeted the earth. Naturally Cecil decided to let Andy and Charles sort it out...

After the much ado and fuel spilled in the tumble, Cecil made sure all was still well with Mwendo. 

Finally standing for a photo session Mwendo, Cecil and Celesta.

Giving her (Celesta, aka Precious Cargo) a last kiss before the final setoff.

I personally am looking forward to reading all of his blog posts and to travel along with him as he is an inspiration to all.

Wow, what a send-off!!! 

A million thanks to each and everyone who took a large chunk out of their precious time to come and say cheers. Ditto to everyone for the messages of support - telephonically, via the forum, e-mail and other media. I am grateful beyond words!
