Round and About: We will always have Cameroon!

http://roundandabouta.blogspot.com/2011/03/we-will-always-have-cameroon.html

Mo (Our 4 x 4). Wednesday, March 9, 2011. We will always have Cameroon! So we are loving Cameroon… the people, the scenery, food, beaches etc. have been outstanding! You need to like cabbage, tomatoes, onion, avo, bananas, paw-paws, pineapples, cassava to do this trip! Once in a while you may find lettuce, carrots or celery but that's about it! Amazing swimming, surfing not so much! Camping at St Benedict's Monastery with Julia and Stanley, Niels and the kids (Yaounde, Cameroon). We collected our visas t...

Round and About: Shipping

http://roundandabouta.blogspot.com/p/shipping.html

Mo (Our 4 x 4). Trying to find out how to ship Mo was probably the most time consuming preparation and most definitely the steepest learning curve. No reason other than the fact that shipping a vehicle was about as foreign a task as we had set ourselves to do. Shipping companies eventually evolved into understanding that it was forwarding agents we needed to contact. But with a list of requirements as long as one’s arm, and understanding agents from. Mo is almost ready to go. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Round and About: April 2011

http://roundandabouta.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Mo (Our 4 x 4). Sunday, April 10, 2011. Well Namibia is fantastic…. Look at us camping! From Ondangwa we were then directed to Tsumeb as the Toyota parts we required were not available. This is directly due to the recent earthquake and Tsunami in the East which has resulted in a shutdown of parts availability. Even if little lessons are learnt along the way like keep your tent closed at all times to avoid midnight doom sessions when the mozzies creep out of the corners where they have been waiting! On ou...

Round and About: February 2011

http://roundandabouta.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Mo (Our 4 x 4). Monday, February 21, 2011. What a way to celebrate our 1st Wedding Anniversary! Links to this post. Thursday, February 17, 2011. Hey Friends and family,. Well as Clauds has already mentioned we are back… eight days of dealing with the Nigerian Immigration and the thought of updating the blog was rather depressing. So either than that life is sweet and its time to take a goef in the ovean, cheers from the J’s! Links to this post. Porters and a guide are obligatory but thank-goodness as you...

Round and About: January 2011

http://roundandabouta.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Mo (Our 4 x 4). Monday, January 31, 2011. We did however find the Kandi Auberge and negotiated a camping fee for 2 nights and so spent a day dusting the contents of the car and getting the few supplies we could from the market, like pineapples, tomatos, onions and some random bottles of olives and tinned mushrooms in the sparsely stocked mud hut store. Things were a little unsettling but we knew we were headed in the right direction. Hmm, and then a few of our first water crossings, not my best! Well, no...

Round and About: November 2010

http://roundandabouta.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Mo (Our 4 x 4). Friday, November 19, 2010. Today we are both fairly stiff but have completed the four day Inca trail finishing at Machu Picchu. 3am in the rain and not loving life. We had an awesome group of 18 people with 18 porters and three guides. The food selection was absolutely amazing for a hiking experience with spreads that were absolutely delicious, I have been working on my garlic tolerance and think there may be a breakthrough, perhaps the altitude and cocoa leaves are helping…. Links to thi...

Round and About: Visa's

http://roundandabouta.blogspot.com/p/visas.html

Mo (Our 4 x 4). Visas are obviously all dependent on what country you are from. As South Africans, we only need a visa for Bolivia in South America which we intend on getting on the way after 3 failed attempts to get it in Johannesburg prior to departure. The consulate is in an unmarked house and after being deferred to another day to hand in our applications twice and then being told telephonically that we should leave our passports and dollars in the postbox, we decided to get them on route. This is th...

Round and About: March 2011

http://roundandabouta.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Mo (Our 4 x 4). Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Dry Land. Where art tho'? And here we are in Namibia, been a while since we had internet connection specifically since our 3G bill rolled in, I won’t even mention what it was but we refrained from even trying to link up. The last 2 weeks have been fast but fun! We were seriously looking forward to Gabon, the one country we had read about and were particularly keen to see the mystical surfing hippos, beach ellies and of course some gorillas! The Dr is specificall...
