I've had a number of requests for an itinerary. Our plans up to this point have been very flexible, but Jo and I have to be back before the 28th of Sept. I start work on this date and Jo flies out that evening to the UK.
We are currently in Nairobi, staying at jungle junction, waiting for the valve clearances on my bike engine to be adjusted - this should be done by the end of the day.
We plan to cut east to Mombassa and then south to Shimoni, Dar and then spend a few days in Zanzibar. We will then continue along the coastline and cross the Rovuma river, from Tanzania into N.Mozambique. The ferry that crosses the Rovuma sank some time back, but the locals are well skilled in 'making a plan' to get vehicles across. We spoke to some travellers yesterday who made the crossing recently. The locals put 3 med sized fishing boats together, built some ramps for the vehicle to ride onto the boats and the crossing was seemless.
I plan on riding back to Durban through SD where I will visit my folks - dates are not certain.

Hiya chaps. Well done on what is an amazing achievement. Send me your email address and I will send you as much info i have for the rovuma crossing. I crossed with my bike on a small motor boat. However the road from rovuma to the next town is horrendous. I'll send you some info to break the 50km trip up to two days. There is a missionary family (south african) where you can camp for a night. Look forward to catching up when you guys are home and comparing notes :-)
