| 23rd August 2008 Trish | 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!! |
| 25th July 2008 Seshan | 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. |
| 24th June 2008 Mphatso | INDEED THIS IS MALAWI - From: From the floor of a RETSULAUNT in Karonga well i was born in Nkhatabay,Northern part of Malawi.Yes indeed the pictures are wonderful depicting my beloved country the warm heart of Africa. |

| 5th May 2008 K. | 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. |

| 25th January 2008 yathi | COOL!!! - From: The Wild West This is so whacky guys. Im loving your trips! |
| 23rd January 2008 chris malandrini | dream your world awake - From: The Wild West 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 |
| 6th January 2008 William | 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 |
| 26th December 2007 frans | Re - From: The good old way of travelling It is not a game.Angola is your bad choice.You can find here smth more than "died" |
| 18th December 2007 lukas | wellwellwell - From: 24 hours no joke mr.Bobbie! It dont stop huh? Your part african by now. I admire all your adventures wish to share some more with you in the future. miss you, and hope things continue going well. O.k. peace and good luck! |
| 16th December 2007 Falc | 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. |
| 14th December 2007 Martin Drex Malmö | Ey - From: 24 hours Ey däm va feta bilder. Ni skulle haft en GPS |
| 14th December 2007 grantcorp | 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. |
| 5th December 2007 syrran | We welcome Lord Varuna and Lord Vayu - From: Hare Durban, Hare Durban, Durban, Durban, Hare, Hare! 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!!!!! |
| 5th December 2007 fred | Jai Shri Ram! - From: Hare Durban, Hare Durban, Durban, Durban, Hare, Hare! 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 |
| 24th November 2007 heather | 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 |
| 21st November 2007 Ouaga | Spell check - From: Expedition Wildcoast That must have been some spell checker you used for the blog, Bobbie...good luck with Tanzania, and great bumping into you! |
| 20th November 2007 chris malandrini | transkei love - From: Expedition Wildcoast hello you two lovley earth wanderers, all those who wander are not lost! it looks like the biking is difficult at times, but man it looks exciting. i'm jelous. it's starting to get f-ing cold here in nebraska, snow and it's friend chilly wind. all is well here, playing music with my friends band 'somasphere' and it's going really well, dirty electronic music, lots of bass, hahaha. no special lady friends just lonely nights:( but who knows what tomorrow will bring for this american sugar daddy! wanted to say hi to both of you. much love and respect. |
| 18th November 2007 SuperSyrran | 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 |
