I can father her children too?

Will update the blog later, but got TWO visas today, Mauritania and Mali. Leaving here tomorrow, not sure where to. Just about to research a route.

Not held captive or dead yet. In Agadir, Sahara in few days time. Going to do a fairly decent update this evening, really struggling to find any internet anywhere, though that's to be expected.

Looks like we're going via Senegal now, they have a border open to Mali, unlike Mauritania who decided to close it 'coz of ebola.

Just need to try and get a visa in Mauritania for it.

Have faith in the chinese shit!

Haha, thanks mate. Depending on how we get on with borders, might ship the bikes back from Ghana or somewhere then fly to Tanzania and then do the South Coast, though really not sure. I'd prefer to do as planned but some things are out of your control!

Or could ship to Namibia. Dunno. Hopefully won't have to...

Just read your blog, albeit backwards... Laughing
