24 Jun

Last few days to go. Ticking all the items on the list to ensure that nothing has been forgotten. Getting very little sleep at the moment because of the amount of thoughts swirling around.

The wife is back from the shop sporting full “Cairo Regalia”..Will post new pictures shortly.

After 7 months of planning, training and preparing, I can barely believe that the day of departure has just about arrived. The sensation is a mixture of excitement and trepidation but mostly excitement!

Dale is packed and ready to go and his bike has the last of the suspension mods completed this week. Although we have done all we can and in good time, the Sudanese embassy came back today requesting additional information for our visa’s. This is the last outstanding visa required (and the most difficult one to obtain) however, we will be departing on the 30th as planned wether we have this back or not…Thank G_d for the second passports!!

6 Sleeps!!

 
BackABuddy Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
