What Now?
/1 Comment/in Africa, Malawi, Travelogue /by allanEven worse, I was delivered another blow yesterday when Peter called and informed me that my tire didn't make it on to the truck yesterday. ...If the tire isn't here by 2 or 3pm then we'd risk riding in darkness if we set out much later.

What’s That Oil Leak On My Brake?

Ronnie, the South African I rode through the Caprivi, into Botswana and through the Zambian border was staying with friends in Lilongwe and on Lake Malawi. With a plan to get to Dar Es Salaam and then ride back to South Africa through Mozambique, […]
