2 months ago I was in Australia working on the sunny Queensland coast when my boyfriend asked me to join him on his motorbike adventure from London to Capetown.... I thought "are you kidding? I can´t even ride a motorbike!" (well my trusty Piaggio Vespa)

After some mighty convincing and been repeatedly told not to worry! I spontaneously agree to farewell Australia again (lived and worked overseas for 2 years) to begin the adventure of a life time. But how under prepared can one person be? I had 4 weeks to buy a bike, get spares, learn to ride and cram everything I need to know Africa. arrghhh
