Around Africa in A shorty

[4ePikanini]

I’ll see if I have time lol. I’m sure it was you I sent all the brown gen 1 interior parts to years ago.

Could be. For my dads gen1.

It was ageing so he let it go but the guy who bought the shell revived it.

A stunning trip. Well done. I would never be brave enough to try what you have achieved. I bet there are many more flashes which will come to you in coming years about this trip. Again, well done.

Cheers, Its been a wild trip, I am trying to sort out shipping to Turkey currently so we shall see how that goes for the continuing adventure. I have 3 weeks worth of blogs where I did another remote trip with my canadian mate i need to put up still.
May even put up the big ol dodge from canada too. see how I feel.

It pretty safe there to be honest. I havent felt unsafe besides common sense in joburg. otherwise all good to go. I bush camp all over.

I don’t car what vehicle you are driving, I enjoy any photos you post whilst being a bit envious of your confidence to travel like you do.

With some of the places they have been I think there maybe an AK47 somewhere amongst his load.

Thanks, Now what about the work prado though? lol.
I would say the confidence came with time, basically my first foray into Africa was straight into Lubumbashi, DRC. as the plane was starting to land I noticed the farmers fields against the edge of the landing strip, the old planes, even war planes with grass 4 meters high surrounding them, run down buildings and boy, let me tell you flying in alone was nerve wracking, i was sweating for sure. instantly the locals can tell its your first time and come to take my passport which i would not let go of for my life, he eventually ripped it out, they tried to bride, and after a very stressful 10 minutes our protocol guy arrived and all was good. so for a first time at that level, now everything else seems somewhat easy. remember, Big smiles and play the game. lol

More trouble than its worth, lol. I have a knife, that's its. and its more for comfort sleeping. either way, most people are friendly and mostly just curious. we are careful how we do go about camping though. IE: we dont just rough it through south africa, we always stay at legit camp sites. where as in botswana and Namibia you can camp anywhere safely. its a wild difference.
