    Last boulder hill before the Aus T-junction. The T-junction sign, sticker no 67, and on to Aus. Has not changed much since 2013. On to the RSA border.

    Namibia at it's best. It has, at the same time, the ability to accentuate your insignificance in the bigger picture, but also, the ability to provoke thoughts of, despite your circumstances, rejoicing life. Only if you stand there, will you be able to understand.

    I have no idea what this is supposed to be, maybe that is the whole purpose of it being in the middle of nowhere. Mother

    Brandon Bosch Memorial Ride - Africa 2021

    Looking back on my experiences on this journey, and the fact that I was going to leave Namibia on this day, resulted in a state of mixed emotions. Given the opportunity, I would very easily call Namibia my home, but the prospect of returning to the familiar, being back in SA, brought about a...

    Brandon Bosch Memorial Ride - Africa 2021

    A twig on it's own, is easily broken, but a whole bunch of twigs together, that is a totally different thing. How many other twigs do you think I will be able to find to make a bunch?

    Brandon Bosch Memorial Ride - Africa 2021

    20 Dec 2021 My travel plans have changed somewhat. Since the middle of last week, I have been experiencing this ominous pit of the stomach feeling, which has prevented me from leaving PE, original date being the 17th of Dec. Call it a gut feeling, or whatever, I just could not get myself to...

    Brandon Bosch Memorial Ride - Africa 2021

    Some times, you have to look back to where you came from. The 105 km long road from Helmeringhausen to the turn-off to Aus is all gravel and I was going to have to take it easy, considering the leaking seal on the front ESA shock and how it could affect the handling of the bike. I did not need...

    Brandon Bosch Memorial Ride - Africa 2021

    Back at the hotel, I finish packing Matilda. I did not have a sticker with me when we went up to the chapel, so I gave one to Björn and asked if he would find a place and put it up for me, which he said he would gladly do. Brandon's sticker no 66. Björn and Katja came out to the front of the...

    Brandon Bosch Memorial Ride - Africa 2021

    Along the way back, I noticed some stone figurines along the way, but I was in a bit of an emotional state and did not really take much notice of my surroundings. On the 18th of August 2021, I received a message from Björn, regarding these stone figures, with photos. He calls them the Lonely...

    But, there is more to the story, and I have Björn's permission to share it. Next to the chapel, is a vertically placed flat rock with an inscribed plaque attached to it. The inscription reads Haimo Basler and Sylvia Basler, indicating their dates of birth and dates of passing and I asked Björn...
