Tell me Africa how are you doing?
The words from DR Alban
It’s been a long year of planning and getting things organised for the businesses and to make sure they can work without us. The planning for the trip was the least of the issues. It is unbelievable how difficult it is to just close the door and walk away from your way of life as you know it and to let things go. We do not have kids and I thought it surely had to be easier for us, just close the door, say good bye to the old Staffie and leave. Not the hell, we are so tied down in our daily grind and business it takes effort to let it go and trust all will go well while away eating dust.
Apart from that hoping nobody gets injured or a bike decide to call it a day while on the trip and ends it prematurely. But sitting here next to the Orange River at Sakkie’s place in Upington sipping a cold Carling the worries are fading fast, what’s the worst that can happen anyway?
We left East London in the rain with a few friends that decided to ride with us. The plan was to go up Sani and then on to Bethlehem and JHB. That did not happen as our passport was still with the embassies. Lundeans neck was a good second alternative and one of my favourite places to ride, the scenery are spectacular and offers some of the best riding in SA.
We will meet up with Harold and Linda at Ruacana just before December where we want to enter Angola, they insist they want to work till near death instead of leaving earlier, not even a cheap wine bribe worked.
Come on get on the road!!
Getting in the zone, nice!
Howzit you Duchmin… 🙂 quote: …”ride, the scenery are spectacular and offers …”
You will have to learn better grammar, because you will now have internashanil readers checking you out!!!
All the besty, ou Grote. And treat your lady well… OK? (No… I do not mean the Dakkie..). I am looking forward to following this trip, and pray that good health accompanies you all the way.
What? …. Could not even a cheap bottle of “Crackling” lure Harry away ? Good luck and enjoy!
So the weels are rolling! Yey!!! Good heavens, I have never being so lost. After waiting twice for you at the “bendehuis” I realised my big old chomma is gone on your dream trip. Glad for you and Els, jealous though 🙂 Enjoy, GO BIG or come home!!!
