Here it is - "Le Pimp" Mobile

Martin and Rickard finish their trip too

The Swedish brothers we met in Aswan, Egypt made it to South Africa. It was so cool meeting up again that we went to Namibia together. I guess by now they have organised shipping their Landy back home and maybe they are even back in Europe enjoying the summer weather there. Miss the lads loads! I didn't think I would because we are such different people - but I do. Every time I go to the Spur I think of them. We have is special bond that friends get when you've shared enough experiences. I'm not sure but I get the feeling this friendship will last a long while.

Quadbiking in Namibia

Bike girl on all four wheels!

Now, there is a story about Namibia so hang in there!! You see, the problem is that I now have a proper job that keeps me busy most of the time, and as a result my blogging is going to shit. I do care. I care deeply and feel awful that I'm not keeping up with writing and am missing out on giving information about motorcycling and filling you in on all the cool things that biker chicks get up to. Admittedly, this biker chick is commuting by car. Lame, I know, but on the tough side I'm getting up at 5am to go to the gym before work. This is a great idea but its taken some time for my body and mind to adjust to the new schedule. Now that I'm synchronised with the birds, I have the evenings to get back to the serious business of blogging.

Also, hotmail kindly deleted all my emails and contacts ? ! Please feel free to re-get in touch with me if I appear to have dropped out of the ether.

Where I'm at right now

I'm working my buns off. That is what I'm doing and this is my excuse for not writing enough emails and catching up with friends (whom I've missed and neglected for ages). The new job is brilliant and the best is having the stability of a salary and planning my future. I'm in a wonderful place that I've never been in before: settled. I've been a bit of a wandering hillbillie for years and now I'm home and growing roots. Well. I'm germinating and as soon as I have sold my house and bought one closer to work, then I'll get the roots down.

Ah, also, for those of you who followed the travells bit, Ewan Mc Gregor and Charlie Boorman have now started their "Long Way Down". The route they are doing is very similar to my route. The big difference would of course be HOW they are travelling! Even I am curious to find out how the rich and famous "rough it" across Africa. But in any case, they are on the BBC website and all the crew members have blogs and little video clips.

But don't delete my url because I'm still here and still writing ;-)

Ostrich Riding in Outshoorn

Home and back to 9-5

Hey there,

Well. Back to not quite 9-5 but close-ish, more like 7 to 7-ish. I'm soooo happy to be home. I was riding to an interview along De Waal Drive one morning and as I looked over Table Bay I had the feeling that an eagle flapped it tired wings and landed. That was me. I'm home...

This was my first week in a new job. I'm so happy. I'm home and I'm feeling very settled and ready to face life, from my home town. My Home. I'm loving every thing about South Africa. This is a magic place.

I went to Namibia for a last blast - so another youtube will follow soon. :-)
