Now with a plane ticket in my hand (thanks Bea) and the carnet back from the shippers, I can leave Cape Town on the 4th of August 2010. Meanwhile I have uploaded some photos to you guys. There are still plenty of them left to get on the Internet, so have patience! 21JUL2010

Gear

After some problems with my sleeping bag leaking out a lot of its dunen, Helsport are sending me a new bag to South America. Thanks to Helsport in Norway 16JUL2010

Bike cleared from SA custom's

I finally managed to get my carnet and bike stamped out of South Africa. What a hassle. I guess there is one dude in Durban with red ears. Now waiting to get info about bike being loaded on MOL HONOR MS bound for South America 16JUL2010

Are we leaving soon?

After I got the South African Automobile Association into the mess about the custom issue on the bike, things have started to lighten up. Bike should be cleared by custom's tomorrow. Poor custom officer! 14JUL2010

Shipment to Argentina

Delayed another week. Customs refuse to stamp my Carnet out of SA and ship is delayed again 07JUL2010

Photos

Sorry guys, it is not because I have been lazy drinking beers, but more because of hard days and very limited Internet connection. I have now managed to upload some of many thousands photos that has been shot during the travel on the west coast of Africa. Give it a try and visit the Photo page 15JUN2010

Cape Town

Getting out of Cape Town tomorrow and down to Simons Town. It is way too expensive for me to stay in the city. 14JUN2010

Music in my ears…

It looks a bit cold right now at the end of South America (Tierra del Fuego)

No heated grips or warm gas stations on the way, only the brutal wind to fight against. Will the bike and I make it down to the end, a stone throw away from Antarctica?
