I am still slightly dazed by the whole situation and apart from the elation of knowing that I don't have to get back on Herbert again, it hasn't really sunk in ... http://www.primaljourney.com/archives/854 Well I've decided to go ahead with my sum up of 'cycling Africa' before I reach Swaziland, otherwise I will have to many posts to write in the last few days. If anything spectacularly unique or different comes up I will add it on but for now I will just ... http://www.primaljourney.com/archives/852 Not a lot has happened in the last coupe of days so i thought i would share some tips for travelling in Africa (rules apple to most parts of the developing world in fact). The more experienced travelers among you will know all of this but it might be of ... http://www.primaljourney.com/archives/845 Well I am about 450km into Mozambique and I really don't know what to make of it yet.
