Oh, sorry,
I thought You know everything. Yes, they are home well. Now in Austria there have been big discussions if they have to pay for the release, the work for their diplomates in Bamako and ...
Also there is the question if they have been in forbidden areas in tunisia or in algeria. - Nobody knows, cause the two also talk a little bit "foggy".
The latest article is from today from El Khabar:
El Khabar
That's it for the moment. If it is clear where they have been abducted and all the mysterious other things, I write it.
regards
Ulrich

The Sahara
Welcome Home.....Andrea Kloiber and Wolfgang Ebner, find comfort in the fact that the unknowing and suffering experienced by you both, your families and friends, and hundreds of thousands, who followed media reports and threads like this, has served to give notice that ultimately goodness and kindness to one's fellow man/woman has prevailed.
Here, I publicly commend Ulrich, who I understand was also a hostage, and the others, very experienced in the Sahara, who have diligently researched and reported the news of your abduction and posted it here. I know Grant and Susan Johnson (horizonsunlimited.com) had a very personal interest in your safety and did whatever they could. World famous author, Chris Scott, who knows the Sahara, and her peoples, like we know our own neighborhoods, has posted here, on your behalf.
Early on, in March, I joined the thousands of people doing whatever we could to help you. Somehow, perhaps by the hand of fate, perhaps by the hand of God and perhaps by your own hand, you are free. Use your unique, meaningful and very profound experiences to contribute to the survival of others.
All of us, even your captors, are just trying to survive. Everyman has his own Sahara to cross. xfiltrate

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
