Sorry for not writing a blog earlier but im sure you can understand that life has been pretty crazy since finishing EyeOnAfrica. Alan has since moved to the USA and seen his brother get married, Congratulations Mike and Rachael. I am currently blagging couches to sleep on all around Cape Town whilst job hunting. Really looking forward to the world cup, c'mon England.
EyeOnAfrica was an amazing experience and I will treasure the memory's forever. I was reading my diary yesturday and remebered so many little things I'd forgoten, so much has happened in the past year.
Now Alan and I start new lifes in different parts of the world after a year travelling together, wish us luck!
Sorry to keep it short but I do not have much time.
Thank you everyone for all your support

Hey Everyone, This is our last blog before we reach Cape Town and EyeOnAfrica is over, enough said there. Since leaving Jeffery's Bay the cycling has been tough and I mean really tough. We've had constant heads winds and some terrible weather. Today we left the N2 and headed south towards Cape Agulhas meaning we wasnt facing a head wind but a terrible side wind,better than a head wind though. To give you an idea of the strength of these winds they literally blow me off the road twice today. I was cycling down the centre of the road because it was clear and the wind was making me unstable and a sudden gust smashed into the side of me sending me hurtling off the road and only my brakes stopped me from heading down the steep embankment. I've decided I really dislike wind and the weather forcast for our last few ... >> full...

right, time i guess for another update on the epic adventure that is our madcap lives. As i write this w are in place called Jeffery's bay to the west of Port Elizabeth. according to goggle we are about 850km from the end of our journey. madness!
Ian Wrote our last blog when we were staying in Kyalami between Johannesburg and Pretoria. we were staying with a fantastic couple David and Nikki. we spent a few days there, fixing various problems on the bikes and enjoying the Dave's well stocked bar! as you can imagine we found it quite hard to leave when the time came. In fact we actually left twice! The first time we got about half a mile before something new broke on Ian's bike and we were "Forced" to return and try again another day. The following day was more successful and we actually managed ... >> full...

Hello!
It’s been a while since our last blog, but don’t worry we haven’t forgotten you but we have finally reached the race to the finish. We will upload I more detailed blog in a few days but here’s a very brief summary, in the last few weeks we have left Johannesburg, passed though Durban and reached the town of Queenstown north of Port Elisabeth. It’s not been easy with allot of hills and nasty headwinds but the spectacular landscape makes up for it.
The most important news is that we have set a date for our arrival in Cape Town. We have a little over 1200km to go and so can say with confidence that we will arrive at the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town at about midday on Thursday the 13th of May. Be there or be someplace else.
