do you remember prices? - From: Sahara hot nights
how high were the prices quoted for boat ride to TImbuktu? what ARE all the tricks in the book that a guide pulls on the tourist? I'm considering going to Mali, so I want to be armed with as much info as possible. Carry mosquito net, first aid, water, food? have lots of patience?! thanks for your help

Girl with eye disease - From: Bissau bustle and blues
You should not have recovered the money from the girl with eye disease and talked about spending it on sexy night. what did you go to do in Bissau in the first place? a sex holiday? you tourists are the one encouraging those girls to go into prostitution with you. had the girl do that you would not have bothered to recover the money. did you go there to show off your western wealth? I find your story prejudicial, to stress the "inferiority" of Africa to Europeans or Westerners.

Very enlightening pictures and commentary - From: And then it changed
Thoroughly enjoyed your text comments and pics! I'm planning a group trip from Fredericksburg, VA, to Princes Town, Ghana in the fall (of '09). This is our "sister city" now, and you might say it is a humanitarian trip since we've sent many needed things to the village of Princes Town, near the old fort you mentioned. If you have any more "insight" you think I might find useful, please do let me know. Thanks for sharing your adventures! Sydney Chichester, former middle school teacher in VA

some really great shots, memorable moments beautifully captured that only hint at the rhythm of life in Burundi. Everyone is so genuine! "modest" , "northern border" and "boy in hat" stick in my mind the most! Great post, good to see Le Flow is still out there, somewhere....

I can't believe you're still travelling - From: The Wild West
Hey Bobby, It's been a long time since we first met. Was it 2000? Man, time flies. I can't believe you're still on the road. Or more specifically, back on the road. I'm envy your journeys, but I'm happy that you are enjoying your road. Sorry for not commenting for so long, but my address has changed from hotmail to gmail. Anyway, may your road be filled with adventures and the ability to survive them intact.

Travelling in Angola - From: The good old way of travelling
I am suprised by the comments not to travel alone.. I am living in Luanda- Morro Bento and have never had any negative experience... Driving by myself through the country.. People are extremely friendly and positive. Of course soemthing can happen as well, but I certainly believe Angola is not much more dangerous than any first world country..

Basotho - From: Thoughts from Mr Rittersport's back seat
Hi there I am a Mosotho woman (although not from Lesotho) but I have a huge interest in my people and culture. I hope some myths and some wrongs can be corrected in the way people write. This is such a beautiful document which has been put together. It shows the essence of the Basotho people. I think more clarity on Moshoeshoe's shoe needs to be made because some don't know who Moshoeshoe is. Is the person wearing the shoe Moshoeshoe or would a shoe that looks like that be called a "Moshoeshoe shoe". I am sure you understand taht the correct terms and words need to be used as the BAsotho in South Africa are of different groupings and this information is vital for our children as they access the Internet so much. Please make sure that things lik e"Basotho foot" get erased as I'm sure a Mosotho's foot looks just the same as a German's? Please clarify. All in all, well done, this website is really cool and the picture quality is excellent. Warm Regards Tebello Kibe University of the Free State Bloemfontein South Africa

WONDERFUL! - From: A fading hope
I have just spent the last half hour 'wallowing' in these fantastic pictures and stories. As an ex Zimbabwean who has watched the country go to wreck and ruin since the 1980's, it was just magical to see that you have captured the true Zimbabwe which the world doesn't see. I spent time in the Chimanimani Mountains and also Vumba in the 70's when I travelled as you have done and your account has made an old lady very happy. Many thanks - wonderful!!

REsponse to Bobbie Nystrom's blog on Hare Durban - From: Hare Durban, Hare Durban, Durban, Durban, Hare, Hare!
Nice ly presented. However some of the remarks on Hinduism were not warranted at all. One must bear in mind that almost without exception all religions have something illogical about them, as we perceive it even if it were Islam or christianity etc... Being the most anicent of religions what we get to see is a highly watered down and popular version of what is stated in the Vedas and the Upanishads.

NiceNice - From: The long ride
Hola, Unbelievable to see this trip again. Last year I made exactly the same trip only I did a return. Starting in Cape Town we (4 others and I) travelled for four days to Benquela where we stayed for a celebration party of one week. And then back again with our 4wd (luckly). It's really nice to see all the pictures again, the benquela market and so and so. Did you see the Seba de leba pass too? Anyways... goodluck with your life. Greetings from Holland. K.

jambo world explorers! Habari? Nzuri sana. wow... you kids are moving around the continent with a quickness. are you still riding your bikes? you should definetely stop by arusha if you get the chance, i know a really amazing family that would love to meet some good people. my friends name is Ray Mlingi, and his mother owns a hostel outside of arusha overlooking this little valley and water fall...really nice place. his phone number is 0717229790, not sure of the country code so you'll have to check that out, but they are really good people. his mothers name is joice. if you run into any trouble give them a call they will help you out. let them know chris malandrini from betty levitovs africa semester got you in touch with them and they will sort you out. joice cooks for the prime minister sometimes, so they have some good connections! I hope your travels are going amazing. know that my love is with you always. give aili a hug for me! currently i'm playing keyboard in this band "somasphere" in LIncoln. it's going really well. we have a battle of the bands this week for a spot to play at a summer music festival that usually has about 10,000-20,000 people over one weekend! so that's exciting. and my birthday is on friday, 25 of jan, going to see some music and get funky! tanzania is a beautiful place, check out Ngoro Ngoro crater, it's like a hidden paradise. spread the love you share for each other with all the people you meet and your path will grow brighter! love and light chris

Angola - From: The good old way of travelling
Bobbie...very impressive... I was born and raised in Angola and amazed of your courage. Heather...try Africare. Make sure, if you go, you have contacts there before you go. Do not go alone. You must have a job there set up and be under protection of an organization. Do not travel alone there. Bobbie is got guts. see list below - http://www.conga.angonet.org/ContactlistConga.html

Guinea Conakry - From: Highlands and lowlifes
You're entirely correct, Bobbi, about Conakry. It's the unwashed bunghole of the planet. Most everyone and everything is for sale. But if you bear that in mind, it can also be a bit of a relief. For a relatively small sum, you can have and do as you please, while in more "sophisticated" places, some moronic bureaucrat is all too quick to declare "NO!" on anything and everything, leaving you without recourse. I'm not sure which is worse.... but I'm glad you made it out intact.

Storytelling at its best! - From: 24 hours
As usual we are spoilt by your under the skin photos and rich storytelling, this semi-journal mode really works well. I had to smile at your note on random people throwing Portugese greetings at you along the road, the exact same words and experience that you will have in Timor Leste.

You never told us about the qualitys of your reincarnations. Being lord of the water and lord of the wind (if I'm not mistaking), must be such an tremendous relief. You can directly lay down your bikes and start surfing up the coast (if you're allowed to use your divine qualitys, outside Durban) Good Luck!!!!!

Ram, Ram Bobbie bhaisab! Your latest pics couldn`t look more familiar to me. I`m currently in North India, just about to leave for the warm tropical South. The crisp Himalayan winds have persuaded me to go and chill out for a while in Karnataka. I haven`t read your latest blog entry yet, and will save this for later when i will be away from chaotic Jaipur and will find myself sitting in much more quiet and less crowded place. All the best to Aili and yourself chota bhai! Hari Om...Shanti, shanti, shantiiiiii... Your

just wondering... - From: The good old way of travelling
Hello, I'm a 22 year old white north american... I am just wondering after being in Angola how safe you would say it is for a female traveling possibly alone. I've been to a lot of safer 3rd world countries India, Sri Lanka, DR etc. but Angola is where I most want to go... I want to do aid work there, i have a degree thtat specializes in economic development of developing of countries, and mine was angola... i want to maybe live there only no one i personally know has ever been there... what do u think will i get raped and murdered or should i be game? ur opinion would be appreciated thanks mate. good luck in your travels

Rusty-Rides - From: Expedition Wildcoast
After that journey you'll certainly need something to bring your serenity back. And I happend to know exactly what that might be: - GingerSnaps with a good deal of Gorgonzola. You know what I'm talking about. I'm snapping on one at this very moment. Actually I'm trying to make you envy, so you'll be home in time of the holy "Sathi-Lassi" festival in Mörrum. You might still make it... Take Care, both of you... Love sis
