June 29th, Day 18: We woke up early this morning, trying to get a bunch of things done before we headed towards the border crossing. On the agenda for the morning was: getting our laundry cleaned, definitely a priority as we had resorted to dirty clothes for a few days now, as well as a lot of...

  June 28th, Day 17: We spent most of the day resting our bodies, relaxing in the hotel room, and accessing the internet. It was a pretty lazy day, but one that we needed to make the push into Botswana the next day. Later that night, we found a local pub and watched the Fifa Confederation...

June 27th, Day 16: We woke up a bit later than we were expecting due to the excitement of the prevoius night and had breakfast at around 9:00am. We gathered up our things and decided to hit the road for Mafikeng, despite the fact that we had no idea where we were going to sleep that night,...

June 21st, Day 10:   We departed Upington around 12pm after packing up all our gear and saying our goodbyes to  the Mocke family and our new friend Herman. The road conditions were not exactly ideal, and a strong wind coming at us from the side almost blew us off our bicycles a few...

Upington proved to be the perfect place for us to heal and re-outfit. It turned out that the guesthouse we stumbled upon the previous night was better than we could have ever imagined. The facilities were tremendous and they had a high-speed internet connection. More importantly, however, our...

June 17th, Day 6:         We woke up around 9am to a beautiful day with minimal wind and lots of sun. It was my (Eric) birthday, so we like to think that had something to do with it. Our goal for the day was pretty ambitious, as we were trying to bike 140 kilometers...
