Too bad that you couldn't get through although i don't think you were alone with visa troubles for Angola. A friend of mine got deported from Kinchaser back to Brasserville. Get onto planning the next big trip and enjoy the English summer. Cheers, MB Hi Dan and Linz,

With interest I have been following your trip (if NEPA permits, here in Zaria) and was very sad when reading your last update. There was no indication towards an early retreat. I was keen to follow your story until arriving South Africa. I am happy you took all in good faith and if you want to start all over again, dont hesitate and make sure you visit us in Zaria! Best greetings from Ernest Hi Linz and Dan,

So often we looked at your website to get to know where you are. We stayed very long in Libreville to decide where we want to go. But it seems all routes end before Angola. On the end we decided to fly to East Africa - Tansania. Now we are sitting in Dar-Es-Salaam and its nearly raining every day. We think you made a wonderful journey. You saw Africa as not many people will see it. We hope you will find a nice place in New Zealand. All the best for you. we can imagine how you feel at the moment.

Angola and the DRC was a killer place for us all, we couldn't get through either, nor Orrin and Torsten. We put our car into a container 2 month ago in Point Noire and its still in Africa, somewhere. We flew to Namibia and met some great people who rented us their V8 landrover and we spent a fantastic month exploring. Please send us your phone number as we would love to give you a call. Its hard coming back, we really know how you feel. Lots of love Jay and Carin Hi Guys,

Lots of reasons to feel good! And thereby, new plans are already in the making. Unfortunately not to Morocco... All the best to you both and greetings from us, Peter and Zineb and Selma. Also to both your parents!!!! Hi Dan and Linz,

The complete and utter shock you gave me when I saw you at the petrol station last week will be forever etched in my memory. Although you're back earlier than anticipated, it is great to know you're both safe and well - and keen to plan the second leg. You're an inspiration to us all.

Really sorry to hear about your troubles. There we had your 'runners-up' beer nice and chilled in the fridge awaiting your arrival and then you decide to rather head to icy Europe. But seriously, we look forward to seeing you guys finishing the last leg of your trip soon. All the best and hope to see you in SA some time. Guys…that’s really a pity.

Next time you set off you will be so much more knowledgeable of the potential hazards........not that it will protect you from them any better (im referring to you're spacial awareness Dan)....seriously though me and dad will enjoy you're company for a while , great to hear all about the adventure. And we will look forward with you both towards whatever comes next .........that's the great thing about life , to quote Forest gump " my momma says life is like a box of choclits, you never know what you're gonna get " And on that phylosophical note I will sign off for now.
