Hi Migo,

Good idea. I've pm'd you.

jealous
 

Dear Linz,
I'd be glad to meet you in Luanda (to make you even more jealous).
But of course not intentionally.:cool4:
I will leave Germany (Frankfurt) by November 27th and plan to depart approx. 1st December from Libreville (Gabon) via the Congos,
Point-Noire, Cabinda to meet you in Luanda. Hopefully entering in
Soyo with a double entry visa in my Passport.

I still don't have company, all the guys seem to leave later than me.:(
Cheers
Michael

Finally booked Portsmouth to Bilbao 01 Oct so on my way next week. Looking forward to seeing some/all of you on the road.

Safe biking.

Africa on very little money or prep
 

Hey guys,

just saw this thread today - soooo wish I'd picked up on it ages ago, got back from a Namibia trip a few months ago, and thinking that if I can manage to pay for the carnet for my old xt, get all the shots, buy the ferry tickets across into Morocco - I would then be surviving on very little plus the kindness of strangers.... soooo, was just wondering if anyone has done this sort of thing - that is - flying by the seat of your pants with very little prep or money? Or is this not to be recommended? I reckon, by the time I get all of the above sorted, I'll probably be good to go december / january - any other late stragglers out there who can join me (and are possibly better prepared)? Bonus for me would be if you're good with bike mechanics (not my strong point), I'll be over the moon!!!

jupiter?
 

Hi Jupiter,

I suppose your are not Ted and above seventy? Why Jupìter?
Anyway sounds a bit short on notiz your wish to accomany us :). I am quite sure there will be others doing the same next year or some other time. Why not start a thread yourself :).

good travels,
migo

Hey Migo
 

Nope sorry - not Ted or over 70 (although some days it feels like it!)

Yes, I think starting a thread of my own will be a good idea, but might help if I at least get the Carnet sorted first!!

If you're off soon - have an awesome trip, and I'll keep an eye on this thread for the rest of you.

For those that have just started travelling. Good luck! We're going November '09. Can't wait! Try and get some info about your various trips onto the web.

Cheers

Hey Silvie, good luck with the planning & prep. Africa is terrific (at least so far), the people have been wonderful. I'm a little south of Timbuktu and should be there in a couple of days.
