Eish, sad news but lots of wd's will be dieing to meet you at the bash. Enjoy

Thanks all.
I really did try to fight this one.
My flight leaves from Casablanca tomorrow afternoon at 14:45, layover in Cairo and then I should be in good 'ol Jozi around 07:00am on Thursday.
That's if I make it out of here without killing someone. They're making it even harder to leave. Because I have to leave my bike here I have to get the police out to 'mark' my bike and I have to hand in all kinds of declarations etc etc etc.

And of course I'll come back and finish this adventure...this 'minor' hiccup is also just part of it.  :thumleft:

Everything happens for a reason...

No worries, Its good, go back with a clear mind and KICK ASS!!
At least you have a ride here when you come back, plus i do believe the DOGS could keep you busy for 3months with invites all over the show just to meet someone with TRUE COURAGE. my 2c worth,

PS. have you posted any of this adventure on "HORISONS UNLIMITED"
https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/get-inspired/travel-stories-blogs

I am sure they will be very interested in your story. Come say hello in Rosebank The Camera shop you've been in before.

Hi Jo

While youre here, apply for a second SA passport. (if you dont already have one?) They seem to issue failrly easily.

Ours took about 3 weeks to arrive, and when we travelled, we left one here, with all sorts of signed forms, visa applications etc.  This helped a lot to get the Ethiopian visa - same story, must apply in home country, if travelling South to North.

Then leave one passport here, with copies of bank details, lots of passport pics etc, and someone on this soide can help apply with the difficlult ones, and courier to you!!

Cheers and good luck

Good news Jo,  I believe that you're lined up for the bash - there's lots of stories to tell, so don't expect to get much sleep  :laughing4:

 

[Fluitwiele]

Jammer om te hoor, maar dinge gebeur verseker soos hulle moet vir 'n rede!

Ek vertrou daai vlug is 'n "return flight"!

Geniet die huis & sy mense vir die tyd wat jy daar gaan wees & bly gefokus op die einddoel!

Cheers!

Hey Jo sorry about that, but then the great Kingsley returned home more often than you so youre still the man ;-) listen my 690 is yours if you'd like to do the bash etc.  its got a comfy seat, long range tank etc and is begging for a ride!  the bitch as I call her would be honoured to host you? G

Onthou... "The Interuptions make the Journey"  Aanvaar die onderbrekings gebeur, en gebruik dit om die trip 'n sukses te maak.

Dink nou net as jy die boek skryf wat 'n lekker storie die Bash sal uitmaak.

I  am appalled by this attitude.  Two passports  : : : : : : of the same country?  Is this not boardering onto criminality?  ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Home affairs were perfectly happy to issue it - didnt have enough pages left in the old one, and never asked to have it back.

Hi Jorust hoop jy kom reg met die Visas, groete.

Hehe...cool! Thank you! Was so awesome to be able to put faces to so many names here.  :thumleft:

Hoe vorder die papierwerk?

 

[jorust]

Hoe vorder die papierwerk?

Wel, die visas gaan op die stadium die makliker deel wees.
Ek het nog niks gepost nie want ek's besig om met 'n klomp dogs te praat en probeer besluit wat my volgende stap gaan wees.
Het gister my KLR by Adventurer gaan haal. (Jis, dit het snaaks gevoel om weer op die KLR te wees LOL)  :ricky:
Voordat ek met die visa applikasies kan begin, moet ek eers my fondse uitsorteer.

Daar was 'n klompie voorstelle by die bash gewees. Een van die voorstelle was om op die KLR te klim en 'n nationwide toer te doen om die nodige fondse in te samel. As ek die opsie volg het ek gedink om dit onder 'Planning a Ride' op te sit en vir WD's oral te gaan kuier. Ek kan dalk praatjies lewer of 'challenges' voltooi of werk doen in elke streek vir die fondse. Gedink om dan 'n persentasie van fondse dan aan die PAW project te gee wat ons (WD's) support.

Is ook tans besig om met Angola te gesels, maar wil eintlik eerlikwaar nie vir hulle vir nog fondse vra nie.

So ja, dit is waar ek nou staan. Enige voorstelle?

Heyahey, lekker om die gesiggie weer te sien! Al is dit op 'n foto.
Jy tel verkeerd nê, 18 bangles.
