Yebo yes! Jislaaik ek weet, dit is net soveel damn werk om al die photos en goed te try sort en edit, en ek laai meer fotos hier as op die blog. Ek moes ook eers die blog update wat my lank gevat het. Ons het Europe getoer vir 5 maande en ek sal dit nou bysit. Ons volgende trip nou is vir April...

Less than 200km before Wadi Halfa we rode past compounds with hundreds of people, trucks, pick-up vans next to the road with makeshift eateries. For the most there were no houses or shacks around. Only shallow dugouts in the ground covered with old torn apart sails flapping away in the midday...

Okay, fok time to get the show on the road again. There's so much to update it is ridiculous. Next trip start in less than 2.5 months.  :deal: Have I mentioned how hot it is in Sudan? Not your average Stellenbosch 42 now and then. It's more like Satan pit hot. The time between 10 and 2 when you...

Do you perhaps still have the underseat tank?

he uses other peoples accounts. Like tjommies and such. Just spin them his account is blocked at bank (insert whatever exuse to tjommie) and friend is going to pay money into your acc. Friend suspects bugger all.

This poepol is a scammer. He say he has parts or Dakar for sale and then never delivers. Seems like old criminal. Goes under stolen ID, well, can not even say that is true or not. PJ Pretoruis ID 6402145137081 Uses Kameel doring 23 str Onverwaght ellisras Uses Standardbank acc 10021136597...

Jaykay op daai tyd was daar n tekort aan pertol en moes ons R8liter betaal op swart mark. Maar dit was nie die issue nie. Jy kon net nie kry nie. So eenvoudig soos dit, daar was nie. Ons het maar gewag vir n dag en kanne in n tou gaan sit en volgende dag gaan haal jy weer. Daar is nou meer...

Ek is nog baie spyt ons kon nie Danakil toe gaan nie. German toeris was geskieet daar en alle trips soon toe was verban. Sal eendag terug gaan. :)

The clay has magical powers. Water is safe to drink and always cool and it never goes empty....struush promise!  :lol8: fokol is growing wild! Luckily the turn off to Adbarah took us off the main road and into the Bayudha desert towards Merowe, a town to the north west. Just outside...

We have lost so much time with waiting for spares we had to make up some distance through the northern part of Sudan on our way to Egypt. The days were still as hot as hell and we kept riding to early mornings and then again in late afternoons. White is route through Sudan Our route took us...

yes sal nou weer. ek het nou tyd om dit in te haal. 10000fotos net vir Afrika en nog so 5000 vir EU tot nou.  :lamer: :biggrin: Probeer meer fotos hier sit as op blog.

TBV, we entered Sudan at Metema. We would have loved to go see South Sudan. As you say they are quite different and we have heard many interesting stories. But at the time it was not even possible to enter South Sudan and that is part why we spend a bit more time in Ethiopia. I will keep it...

Hi Vlekkie, most places you will get unleaded up to Malawi, in fact most of Africa. But that said, the Dakar's can run on Camel piss very happily. :) If you use leaded fuel your CAT would just not work anymore but that is absolutely not an issue and would do no harm to the bike. Your Green eco...

By ‘good chance’ Michnus’ bike left us cooling it in front of a very small “Coffee Shop” ran by Ethiopian and Sudanese girls. The coffee shop is an old house with all the rooms opening up into a small courtyard, and each room has a couple of couches and low tables for guests. As we entered, we...

Frans and Joke build this impressive overlander, they have done most of Africa. And he had beers, it’s worth the 100 lashes per beer!! Late the afternoon we made it back to camp, wanting nothing else than hard liquor and beers. We “imported” some whiskey which had us smiling about the events...

It is easy to figure out that as with most other countries, Angola as example, are in the same situation, the 5% connected politicians ruining it for the rest of the 95% of the population. The deal for oil could have been settled without the war, no doubt. I do not want to write about this, but...

Everywhere families offer water for any passersby. Yes, yes I know, they are in conflict with South Sudan for oil, and from what the media dish up that must make most of the people of Sudan evil heartless *******s. It cannot be further from the truth. It took us some time to wrap our minds...

Sudan is a wonderful surprise; you hear ‘Welcome to Sudan’ and ‘Do you like Sudan?’ everywhere. The food is a blend of Turkish, Western and local dishes. And, for the pastries … we tried it all! Sitting at the Sudan border post waiting to get our Carne's stamp. They are waiting for us to pay a...

Cheers Ethiopia, until we meet again … We left Addis so excited to be on the bikes again, but halfway to Bahir Dar Michnus realized that the legs of his pants were sprayed with oil …. Both the front fork seals were popping out … On our way to Bahir Dar and the other bike's fork seals blow...

Poprivets and flat sheet will fix most things. Blood was drawn to fix this *****. Another small problem is the Uni-filters I fitted for ease of cleaning and to re-use instead of carrying paper air filters - in the time the bikes were standing it also started to disintegrate. The only solution...
