What? Its Over?
With an icy start I crawl out of a rather warm tent, this heater is seriously worth every penny. With coffee boiling and eggs and bacon (read a full pack of bacon) I start the car which is running oddly rough this morning. It’s slightly missing, I think the glow...

Pushing Past 3200M
This is it, our last day with the wagon on the road. We cross directly over the mountains and straight to Goght, which is where we will spend the night. The pass is huge and ticks just over 3200 meters. The wagon, suffering from a fan hub issues and now a bad...
Pants Are Optional
Ahh yes, what do you do when you have a private area next to a lake, go swimming of course, well not fully swimming, but we at least got wet. Not much going on these 2 days, ohhh except, remember the plums? Well we had sugar so Asareh made jam. Now that is how you do...
Frolicking in The Flowers
Today, I make sure we use the good camera a bit more as we are going to drive a route suggested to us from the campsite we store the wagon at. I spend the morning trying to photograph some birds. They are much to fast for the setup I am using. But I will keep...
African ADVENTURES —
Double Down
We have a rough night as we had a bit of water coming in through the ports, odd, but we deal with it. Its normal for a boat anyways. We are guided on how breakfast works, which wasn’t exactly all inclusive, as we actually have to pick a place to eat and there is a...
Birthday Boy
Its my Birthday!! Waking up Asareh is able to shower before the water can even boil, we are totally out of LPG, but that’s alright, we still got coffee. We start motoring south towards our destination of cape town. Asareh has booked us in at a special hotel...
Something Fishy
Waking up still in thick fog, it feels like something from silent hill. It takes absolutely ages for coffee, this gas issue is becoming a problem. But we figure we will only be camping 1 more night as we are headed back in towns for the rest of the trip. We pack up...
By country: Mozambique – South Africa – Botswana – Zambia – Namibia – DRC

Ice Cream… That Is All
The hum of the A/c is amazing. But its about to end. A quick shower and I pull up to the diesel pump and begin fueling for our next leg, Hutchy also fills up one last time before he heads out, Grabbing brekky we prepare for the day, we are headed to Wittenoom.. oh...
Boiling Pot
We waste not time getting moving in the morning before it gets hot, pulling along the main drag we stop and grab a snap shot in front of the hottest town in Australia, but not before hitting up the local shop for fresh bread, Asareh has prepared a great sandwich...
Today on SlowGear
I fear for my life… more on this later Waking up we pack up quickly and head out before it gets hot and the gravel gets soft. In true fashion I point the wagon straight up the drop off from yesterday’s stuck and power straight up, was it a display of shear...
RIGHT TURN ADVENTURES —
Reunited At Last
Reunited at last, Asareh had to head to Morocco over a month before I even hit the road, so meeting back up was amazing. Even if I did cause her to panic, after getting held up at customs for 3 hours due them scanning every vehicle, I had no sim card, and the guys at...
Aerodromes For Days
Crossing into Croatia is where the fun begins, I head straight for the air force base that is left to rot. Zeljava Aerodrome. Enjoy the photos from here. If you are in the area I highly suggest stopping in. although unless you have good tyres maybe don’t drive inside...
Why Is My Co-Pilot Asleep?
We will begin round 2 in Africa by actually starting in Turkey yet again. With the rig loaded up its time to motor to Morocco. I covered 3300kms in just over 9 days till I caught the ferry from Genova. The drive through Turkey is uneventful and I make great time due...
