Two Wheels to Addis: The Journey Continues

— June 1, 2011

This isn’t how I planned it. A month late and only four minutes long! We’ve met some incredible people. To the dozens who have helped us, thank you. As we continue down the road, we hope to share more stories of people like you.

The awesome music is the Jimenezi Hop, written by Tim Drinan, preformed / recorded by The Trolleys. http://www.thetrolleysband.com/

Slept Here: The Igloo Inn

A video! This is the only footage that made it beyond the Great Pannier Falling off. I wish I had more footage of the May 21st Judgement Day missionaries but it is what is…

Slept Here: The Mountain View

— May 21, 2011

If you find yourself in Mokopane, Limpopo province, RSA, there is no better budget accommodation than the Mountain View. For but 140 rand, ~ $22, you get a personally themed Elite Room. I stayed in the Tiger Room. It had a tiger-stickered bed head, tiger lamp shades, tiger throw carpets and Chinese-y paintings!
The seven rooms share two bathrooms and one kitchen. There is also a DVD collection of extraordinary obscure B movies. You can watch them for free!
Please note: At the Mountain View there are no mountains in view.

The World is Ending Tomorrow (no really)

— May 20, 2011

We were first introduced to familyradio.com in Polkowane, South Africa. But they’re everywhere. They have a billboard next to the largest shopping mall in Zambia. Their theory is simple. Judgment Day is May 21st. As in tomorrow. Hope you’ve got someone special to spend the night and repent with…

On The Road – South Africa

— May 18, 2011

All the photos were taken in Limpopo province in Northeastern South Africa. Doesn’t capture the country. Along the highway, you saw a stream of illegal Zimbabwean immigrants, carrying all their possessions, Grapes of Wrath style, jerry cans of water atop their heads, extreme poverty next to the 2010 BMW.
