Great stuff Schalk, thanks for the update and hope your book sells fast to fund another leg of your trip!  :thumleft:
Sold 22 books so far at R 25 Euro X R 15= R 375 per book. Picking up 270 books tomorrow from Rotterdam harbour.
 
From the Zapp family I then travelled 200 km South to Belgium to a town called Bierbeek to sleep over at Dieter Demeyer house. I met him in Tanzania in 2010 and him and his new wife came to see us in December while I was on holiday with my wife in Mossel Bay. The two of us went out for the night to paint the town red.
The next morning I left for the Berndt Tesch 60 th meeting in Malmedy in Belgium. It was an amazing weekend and among other a guy from England who has been around the world 7 times came to do a presentation. I made many new friends. I also met up with Chris and his wife Yolandie from Switzerland whom I met at the 2015 Wilddog bash. After the bash they came to stay at my place in Johannesburg. This photo below is of a 125cc Suzuki with a trailer. I also found that they restore older bikes and still ride them.

Great om te sien jy is weer op die pad.
Ja dankie my maat. Hoe maak 'n mens die video's kleiner om te kan post. Ek het geweldig baie video material wat ek kan op sit.

Laai dit eerder op youtube dan post jy net die links hier.

Hi Kortbroek jy praat nou met 'n ou wat nie te rekenaar vaardig is nie. Ek het nog met parafien lampe en kerse groot geword.
