This Is A Day To Day Account Of My Motorbike Journey Beginning In September 2007.
A Total Of 25,168 Kilometers Overland Through 18 Countries, from Malaysia to Ireland In 99 Days.
The past 10 years I drove all over Europe, now the time has come to explore Africa.
After 27 years of surviving Hong Kong, Nish, a French native and his girlfriend Abby, a talented pianist, decided that it was time to get back to real life and planned a good long trip from UK down to Cape Town in South Africa by the West Coast and then back up the East Coast of Africa aiming at Turkey before turning right towards Mongolia and Japan. Departure is coming soon.... Will they make it ?
