Trans Africa Bike Trip

This is a blog of my Trans Africa Bike Trip. I left on May 2nd 2011, with my friend David Strong. We followed the East coast, visiting Mozambique, Tanzania and Kenya. In Kenya we both broke down, and once we managed to fix both bikes, David decided to return to South Africa via Uganda, Ruanda etc.. I continued on traveling through Ethiopia,Sudan,Egypt,Israel,Italy, France,Switzerland,Belgium and England, ending in London. In Sudan I traveled with an amazing couple from the UK, Naomi and Dave.

It has been a while since I have serviced my bike, and it is in desperate need of a service. The one advantage of being in Europe is that, spare parts are not difficult to find. I have managed to locate the closets BMW dealer to Bassano Del Grappa. It is about 2 hours from Cinte, but I have loads of time on my hands.
Bassano is located on the edge of plato and the start of the dolomite mountains. It is a very scenic city. It is market day in town, and the food stalls are absolutely amazing.
On returning to Cinte, I quickly service my bike by changing its oil filter and oil. Unfortunately, the BMW dealer could not source my air filter, so that will have to wait until my bike gets back to South Africa.
