Itchy Boots - New Season

k@k grenspos daai!!!

Ja, it struck me what sh1t-holes they actually are. Big extravagant looking buildings and that's about it. All around them it looks like sh1t. Doesn't say much about their standards.

Imagine one of the future episode titles: "Frankie Turns Petrol Smuggler!"

What struck me is the amount of trucks. What do they transport to where or from where? Europe?

Daai roete was nog altyd nag uit Europe uit!!

Half an hour watching her go through border. Give me back my time. I will skip it from now on. Duller than cold porridge.

Time for some good dirt roads again

Thankfully she caters for all. I prefer her ‘real time’ border crossing because that shows the complexity of world travel. It reminds mr of ‘Red tape and white knuckles’ by Lois Pryce.

Some have this illusion that ‘world travel by motorcycle’ is very romantic. This gives us the real deal.

More border drama in the latest episode.

Meanwhile the illegal tourist slips over a border in 30 seconds.

Love travelling but border crossings take the fun out of it. On 2023 we travelled East Africa and ended up doing 13 border crossings. They try to make it as frustrating as possible so you will hire an agent. You have to pay him and that money oils all the hands there. Takes hours for two stamps and to pay the taxes.

My immediate thoughts were "Welcome to Africa" even though she is not in Africa...

Civil servants are the pits. But border officials go to a special piss-you-off training school.

I just can't see her travelling these volatile regions and getting through unscathed, but maybe that is the pessimist in me.

Whatever possessed her, a single, blonde, blue-eyed girl to travel through historically (and maybe not too historical) dangerous zones like Iran/Iraq? I cant help feeling for her safety every time she is mobbed by a bunch of these men. I do have a rather ingrained dislike of this group of people and view them all as radical fanatics.

Bravado and stupidity are one and the same.
