Home is where we are. Roaming Africa by motorbike. Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Apart from the fact that I wasn’t allowed to take pictures on board and that we had to ride over piles of concrete reinforcement rods to disembark at the Kinois side, everything went fine now. For more pics, see album " Kins in Kinshasa. Thursday, March 17, 2011. 8211; we would have had a peaceful night. Well, at least we have an early start.

Home is where we are. Roaming Africa by motorbike. Sunday, June 19, 2011. Vous voyez comment nous souffrons? Day 13: Mbuji-Mayi – 20 kms before Kaniama (227km). In Tshilombe, formerly known as Thielen-Saint-Jacques, the church of the well-equipped catholic mission has partially been renovated. Presumably not by the “Fonds voor Inlands Welzijn” (Fund for Indigenous Well-being), that donated a water tower in days long gone by. Day 14: 20 kms before Kaniama – Muleba (157km). After Kaniama, the road is as de...

Home is where we are: Out of Africa
http://www.roamingafrica.be/2011/08/out-of-africa.html
Home is where we are. Roaming Africa by motorbike. Wednesday, August 10, 2011. A couple of kilometers north of Suez, we take the heavily guarded Ahmed Hamdi Tunnel underneath the Suez Canal. The traffic passes in single file through its gaping mouth and as we follow, we are starting to grasp the reality that we are saying goodbye to Africa. By midnight we arrive at our hotel in the resort town of Eilat. Really deteriorating because of all the hordes of tourists. For more pics see album " Out of Africa.

Home is where we are. Roaming Africa by motorbike. We couldn't stay untouched by this. Over the years, we helped individual people on our way, only to find that life can be complicated and good intentions sometimes don't yield the expected benefit. Wondering whether a professional organisation could make a difference, we contacted some NGO's before our trip to Kenya and Uganda in 2006. Artsen zonder Grenzen/Médecins sans Frontières (MSF-Belgium). In 2007, we visited a friends' mother. With their Rwandan ...

Home is where we are. Roaming Africa by motorbike. Friday, August 5, 2011. Out of time, out of the way! We were still in Kenya when we heard this news. It made us linger in Nairobi longer than expected, desperately looking for an alternative that would get us to Italy in time to meet my parents on the 3. Country than the one you want it shipped from. We decided to go for a freighter cruise, being the most achievable and economical option. But besides Nicolaas having to celebrate his 30.

Home is where we are. Roaming Africa by motorbike. Sunday, February 20, 2011. Y a pas de problèmes? The villagers have to point out the trail, which doesn't seem to have been used by vehicles in ages. The first things we see are broken down machines and rusted containers. There's a pungent sweet smell coming from elephant hides and warthog remains tossed away in one of them. Euhm, is this the place? For more pics see album "Y a pas de problèmes? That's where things started to go wrong. Next day we're...

Finally we seem to be at the end of what has been a very tiresome, boring, nerve wrecking waiting period of nearly three weeks. Our boat is scheduled for departure on Tuesday, maybe even Monday… How did we get ourselves into this while we were determined not to stay in Kinshasa for more than two weeks? A little out of town. About his recent boat journey on the Co...

Home is where we are. Roaming Africa by motorbike. Friday, January 21, 2011. I've never been so nervous in my life! Imagine riding a 20 to 30cm wide track with raised edges, which is winding its way downhill on the rim of a steep slope, in hairpin bends and surfaced with loose boulders. F* *! Nicolaas buying a pile of pineapples along the road. For more pics, see album "Café cacao". We switch dirt for tarmac and soon find out that Togo's entire road network could do with some rehabilitation! S are never ...
